Quick-Release PU Leather Motorcycle Saddle Bags with Cup Holder — 18L
Product description
One-handed quick-release tower buckle: The bags use an upgraded quick-release tower system that lets you open and close the flap using one hand, even while wearing gloves. This replaces older dual-strap methods for faster access during commutes or longer rides.
Fit and passenger comfort: Designed for cruiser-type motorcycles such as Softail, Dyna, Road King, V-Star, Shadow and Vulcan families. A beveled corner profile preserves rear passenger legroom to reduce fatigue on extended trips. Not suitable for Softail FXDR, short-tail or bobber-style machines (for example Nightster or FTR 1200), fully-faired sportbikes (YZF, CBR, Ninja, GSX-R series), motorcycles with high-mounted exhausts, dual-sport/adventure bikes, or bikes fitted with factory hard, three-box luggage.
Capacity and construction: Total capacity is 18 liters (two 9L saddlebags). The internal EVA reinforcement and reinforced stitching give the bags a rigid, upright form so they won’t sag when empty. Inside you’ll find hook-and-loop inner covers to keep contents secure and prevent items from shifting or spilling. Dual-sided zippers provide smooth access. Note: maintain at least a 3-inch clearance between the bags and the tailpipe.
External features and durability: Two external pockets are sized for bottles or a cup holder for quick access to drinks. The outer shell is premium synthetic leather (PU) with extra stitching and red accent thread for a finished look. The material delivers solid water resistance in light rain, and the internal structure helps the bags stay put without deforming or detaching.
What’s included and use: The package includes a pair of PU-leather saddlebags (2 × 9L), the quick-release tower mounting hardware, and straps required for installation. They mount to the passenger peg/frame area or over grab rails, and are intended for everyday use—carrying gloves, a jacket, water, rain gear, tools and other daily essentials.
Pros
- Quick one-handed release for fast access
- Sturdy EVA-reinforced shape that won’t sag
- External cup/bottle pockets and secure inner closures
Cons
- Not compatible with many sport, bobber, or ADV models
- Not genuine leather—it's PU synthetic material
- Some mounting points may need reinforcement on heavy use
VerdictThese 18L saddle bags offer roomy, structured storage with a fast one-handed quick-release system and water-resistant PU leather. They suit many cruiser-style bikes and improve passenger comfort thanks to beveled corners. Good for riders who want easy access and solid shape retention, though check clearance to exhaust and some models are not compatible.

Broke quickly for me
The mounting grommet that attaches to the frame snapped within two days. Tried to return but missed the window, so I’m stuck with them. Poor quality in my experience—would not recommend.

Excellent fit, wish they locked
Love the fit and the color match on my bike. The only drawback is they don’t come with built-in locks.

10/10 — Really pleased so far
Fits my 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak. The red trim matches the bike nicely. Just installed them and they look great; plenty of room inside. Time will tell on longevity, but so far I'm happy.

Surprisingly protective and stylish
As a newer rider who’s dropped the bike a couple times, these soft bags somehow protected my chrome and kept things from scraping—no damage. They look great on my white Breakout, though the rear-facing area is a bit rough and could scratch during installation.

Good fit and attractive color
Nice red tone that hasn’t faded after about six months. Feels well made and solid, with zipper and Velcro plus the front closures. Easy to install and surprisingly roomy — I can fit a one-gallon jug in each. Mounted them with side brackets on my moped and they work fine.

Great fit for my Kawasaki W800
Easy to install and they sit well over the passenger grips so they’re clear of the wheel. Plenty of space for errands. I added aftermarket locks for peace of mind. Too new to judge long-term durability or full water resistance.

Fits my Yamaha 125 scooter
Looks good on my Yamaha 125. I prefer real leather but bought these knowing they’re faux; honest about what they are and they suit my needs. Will watch how long they last.
