Industry Veteran Gives Saddlemen Fastback Bag High Marks After Long Sturgis Road Trip
Strong Positive Review Of Our “SaddleStow” Large Fastback Sissy Bar Bag

Dennis Mahan of K & N Engineering recently sent us a testimonial based on his experiences using our Large Fastback Sissy Bar Bag.
“After riding to Sturgis and back from here in Southern California using this bag, I’m very happy with it. The design is fantastic with the either-side-opening it is convenient to get into while still mounted on the bike. I found the semi-rigid construction was a perfect backrest on those long open roads. The side pockets are perfect for a few water bottles, your camera, cell phone, maps and other items you might want to get during a gas stop or along the highway. I used the straps on top to secure my rain suit giving easy access without opening the bag. Yes, I did have to use my rain suit, and the included rain cover for the bag which kept everything dry. The movable shelf inside was perfect in its highest position to keep my laptop handy but away from possible damage. All in all, your designers have done a fantastic job on this bag.”

Saddlemen’s S2600 Deluxe Sissy Bar Bag Endorsed After Multinational European Road Tour

After using our S2600 Deluxe Sissy Bar Bag on two European road trips, Saddlemen customers William and Gerlide D. emailed us complimenting our bag’s design and value. “I must admit I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of your product… The contents of the bag stayed dry through heavy rain. After many miles the bag has retained its shape and great looks.”

“I have owned other brands of bags that were not up to the standard that you have set… I am looking forward to many more trips and miles with your fantastic product. Thank you again for a great product at a great price. I will recommend Saddlemen to everyone I can.”

William and Gerlide also sent along some “postcard” photos from their tours, as they traveled through Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic, visiting places like Venice, Pisa and the Alps…

At Saddlemen, we are constantly working to make better products, from motorcycle seats, luggage or related accessories. Part of our goal is also to provide more information for both the potential buyer and the existing Saddelmen owner.

The website is available “twenty-four/seven,” and has dozens of downloadable and printable Adobe Acrobat (PDF) versions of our instruction sheets ready for use at the user’s convenience.
Our goal is to have product instructions available online as soon as new items are released.
