Thanks for sharing this, I just put a deposit on a 2023 Chief Bobber Dark Horse, and was looking at bags to use on long rides. 90% of the time, they’ll be off, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to carry some stuff.
They look good, nice size but not too big to compromise the style of the bike. Just need some rubber caps to cover the ends of the bolts inside the bags, so you don't scratch your gear.
I have the Darkin painted hard bags and they are “easy install” (still threw a couple wrenches across the room) so easier than the PITA of drilling bracket holes like the other bags they have. Paint is weaker than a French solider, but overall really happy with them and get compliments. These should serve you well 🤘🏻
Viking bags have a problem, the part of the bag you secure to the bike is not thick enough and will start cracking where the bolts go through. You should reinforce them with bigger washers or even a wide plate
Yeahhh.. I wouldn’t know anything about that. That’s a complaint for Viking Bags. It’s not the first pair of saddlebags they’ve designed, I’m sure they know what they’re doing but hey who am I to know lol
Not sure what I’m doing yet. I’m not planning on moving it back though since I’m only using these bags for whenever I do long trips so I’m not too worried right now. I’ll have to come up with something whenever that happens though!
Ruins the look of the bike!!! Just buy a Goldwing if you have to have all that storage. Or drive your car. lol. “If it doesn’t make the bike faster or badass….it shouldn’t be on there” ~Jesse James
Well good thing I can pull both of those looks on this bike. I don’t plan to leave the bike like this though. My plan is do this “mini bagger” for long rides lol

Being able to lock your bags is a must have IMO.

I love how those bags have a piece over the press clip - Awesome post thx!
They look awesome on this bike. I also have a Scout Bobber but it’s Spirit Blue and I’m looking at getting these
Viking bags makes good stuff. I have the small throw over Patriot saddlebags on my iron 1200 and I have been very happy with them.
Finally, thank you for sharing. I've been waiting for them to drop this.

Nice, I was just looking these up and wanted to see it on a bike, I knew you would have a video on the Scout. :)
I just Installed mine are the tops of the nuts supposed to break off?
Nice work. How are they holding up? I also have Viking saddles on my 2017 Scout, but the boots keep shearing off.
Love it! I was looking at getting the solo bag. I'll definitely be watching out for your video on that one. Just wish you could lock it.
For sure! The solo bag is an awesome bag to have
Hey 6, have you ever thought about adding McCruise to the Bobber? I'm considering it.

Im look for some bags like this for my chief bobber...do they fit a chief?
They wont but they have other bags for the Chief if you check their website!
❤❤❤❤❤
is there any reason these wouldn't work on the chief bobber? I must own these.
Hit up Viking Bags, they’ll have an answer for ya. They do have nice ones for the Chief as well though!!
ill hit em up. thanks and ride safe @@HER6GEARS
Wonder if I can get the two big bags and only mount 1
I don’t see why not!
Ordered!
Looks great, but are you going to need to move your license plate?
Not sure what I’m doing yet. I’m not planning on moving it back though since I’m only using these bags for whenever I do long trips so I’m not too worried right now. I’ll have to come up with something whenever that happens though!
What size is are they ?
What brake light is that?
From streetpilots
I live your videos! ❤
Glad you like them!
@@HER6GEARS I wanted to write I *love* your videos! 😁
they don't look like they would fit with the stock turn signals
Doesn’t look like it but they fit without relocating them
@rickynotsomartin has the same bags with stock turn signals!
I love your videos one question will this work with a 2up passenger seat Aswell ?
Thank you! Yes it’ll work with the 2 up seat
❤thanks! Ride safe ✌️
Is there specific torque specs on screws?
Yay tight
Do these fit on the regular scout ?
I’m not sure actually. Viking bags will have a better answer if you message them!

Viking bags are not real leather !!
