Just a little half year review on these saddle bags. We have now had them for over half a year. We have been in Oregon since February, where it rains A LOT. The motorcycle has been sitting outside in the rain under a cover. We have used the bags to bring jackets and rain gear on our trips and we have even gone grocery shopping with them. Amazing what can fit into these bags. There has been no water intrusion into the bags. The electrical connections all work perfect despite the wet climate. We love these bags and they seem to hold up to the wet climate rally well.
I just did this install a few weeks ago, after watching two different videos I did on step different. I took the Max-Mount off the Ryker and installed all the brackets on my tabletop. It saved me a little aggravation.
And as you can see in the video, it is so easy to install these kits from SlingMods on the Ryker. They are really doing a great job with their products (and I say that without being sponsored by them in any way).
Super. Your video cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had on how the wiring runs and why ... because of suspension movement it has to go way up front and then back again. Sure appreciate your thoughtful incites into why you did what you did at times. I will be doing mine early next week and am thinking of ideas to quick disconnect the saddlebag wires so I can remove them easily for both cleaning and operation.
@@sixwheelsdown7453 8 hours later I got 'em on. One bag would not lock. Found out the racks are "side specific". Switched them around and all is well. Why so slow??? First thing is you are super. 2nd thing is I can be a dufus. Removal of the taillight cost me dearly. Did not know the tip just popped up out of those slots. Had to hunt down that information on another video. Then the left taillight would not cover all those wires for me. That's just another reason they make beer.
By the way Phillip ! Read the comment from Kenneth. He had a good comment about mounting the brackets to the Max mount before installing it on the bike. I think this is a really good idea. I would follow his advice, if I had to do it again. I believe it would be even easier that way 🙂
My biggest problem with Slingmods and most 3rd party kits are the harnesses. For "custom" harnesses the end user is left with a lot of adapters, pugs and extra wiring to hide and tuck. Thats just bad design, poor execution and not what im wanting to add to my Spyder. Sell me the parts,connectors and bulk wire and i will make my own better harnesses. This is not a commdnt about this video, it was very informative.
Sure - I can see what you mean. I think you are right, that it would be good to reduce the amount of connectors, the can be a cause for errors and corrosion. On the other hand - this harness was very easy to put together and no tools needed for that. Further more we have had no problems with it since installation. So all in all - I like it as is 👍
Thank you brother great video very well done

What a nice dog it looks like a little bear🐻🥰
You did a fantastic video thank you very much and God bless you and family 😊
I’m glad, that you liked it.👍🙂
Great step by step instructional video. Was good to see the fur child in the video. Dachshunds are the 'official' camping dogs. We had three.
I’m glad, you found this helpful🙂.
I agree dachshunds are the best 👍
Thanks - yes we love ours 🙂

That was smart thinking and absolutely possible. Thanks for sharing that 🙂
Really appreciate this video. Sounds like your a Dane in America, well I am a Swede in Mexico. Liked and subscribed.
I always admire a neat clean job😌✨
I don't even have my Ryker yet, but this will be one of my first (of many :) ) mods. Great directions and explanation.
Thanks Brian !
Yes this is an awesome kit. My wife loves it 🙂

@@larrymalinoski4296 lol 😅
I'm happy you figured it all out. It is really a nice kit.
Very nice video, made the install look easier than I was anticipating, I'll be installing mine next weekend.
Hey Philip !
It is a very nice kit - my wife loves it.
Hope it will go smooth 🙂
By the way Phillip !

So - how did it go with your install Phillip ?
Outstanding video!

They are from Sling Mods
Great job, but should have put loctite on all fasteners.
Thanks for your comments Bill 👍🙂
Yes you might be right about that - would have been a good thing to do 👍

If you go the plug n play route, then dielectric grease and shrink tube is a must. There is no green oxidation in 3 plus years so far.
I put the harness together without dielectric grease and have no problems after one year.
