I just ordered these ... do you think Saddlemen tactical luggage will also still fit on the back of the bike, on top of the saddlebags? The one I want is molded to fit right on top of the back seat as a kind of peg - will these saddlebags stop something like the Saddlemen tactical cruiser tail bag from fitting properly, you think? Or would the saddlebags compliment something smaller like the Saddlemen Tactical roll bag? Just curious if you or anyone else reading this may happen to know. I'm planning for my first long distance ride on my 2018 Indian scout bobber. excited and anxious as ill be gone for 3 weeks and 2500+ miles (tucson to houston) Thank you!
It will most likely work as long as it has a flat bottom. I have a Viking tail bag that can sit on top, but I find sometimes you have to get creative for different setups and straps than the instructions intended that come with the bag. It should be fine if it hangs over the saddle bags too. You have about 6” of play on each side before you touch the zipper opening. I hope that helps! That sounds like a great trip. Have a great ride!
Yeah it’s the OEM one from Indian’s site. I had the same problem last year, but I had them E-mail me when another batch was ready and snatched it up when it was back in stock.
Thanks for posting sure can't go very far without some kind of bags tried many years
Right on. Yeah I’m glad I finally gave in and bagged up for long rides.
Thanks for the post brother. Looking for something exactly like this for this riding season. Taking a few trips out of town.
😊thanks for posting I bought this bag on Amazon just I was looking for. Thanks again 😊 my bike is indian scout bobber too.

Awesome to hear. Glad I could help! 🤙
Those bags are perfect! Wish I had something like that last weekend when I went moto-camping! Thanks for sharing the find!
Yeah for sure!
Hey what colour is your bobber!? So nice. Can we get them that colour in the UK? probably not 😞
Thanks man! It’s called Bronze Smoke (2018 model). Maybe a local dealer could custom order it? Not quite sure how it works over there.

What is the brand/name of the saddle bags? Or where did you buy them?
They’re Kuryakyn Xcursion bags. I got them from Dennis Kirk.
Doesn't the right side bag hit the rear rotor? I had that problem... Going to be trying universal bag mount standoffs.
I had that happen once, but I adjusted them up tight and haven’t had any problems since. Let me know if using the mounts works better!
@@bamelby Well, the bags that I have are dedicated bags to each side, not the same setup, but I'll try to remember to reply.
@@zeroneutral Ah gotcha. No worries…hope it works out
Is that the stock Indian passenger seat and if so, where did you find it in black in stock?
Yeah it’s the OEM one from Indian’s site. I had the same problem last year, but I had them E-mail me when another batch was ready and snatched it up when it was back in stock.
where do i buy them?
