- Purchase, review, unboxing, fitting, customisation of the Craftride k3 33 litre hard bags / side cases from motea.com
Fitted to a 2004 Harley Davidson Fatboy
Purchased here www.motea.com/en/motorbike-ha...
I've had these on my Kawasaki Vulcan S for almost a year now. I love them, they look like they were made for the bike. I regularly carry full loads of shopping in both.
It's important that you spray some WD40 into the locks every so often, esp if you ride in the rain a lot like I do. I also got some Matt black paint to match my bike and painted all the bolts, this is important as they rust very quickly otherwise.
Hey man, I´m thinking to buy them for my Vulcan S. Are you still like them? would love to see some videos of them on Vulcan S
@@kostanos I'm still happy with them. I added a taillight to the back of each which was easy enough to do and I've zero experience of doing that kind of stuff.
I really recommend them.
I live in Ireland where it rains a lot, my stuff never gets wet.
This was a really good review. I've been looking for good bags for my bike (Harley Davidson street 750) and I'm considering these ones. I appreciated the detaild description of what you had to do with the brackets. You did say that the bags were a bit wobbly but parallelt with the mudguard so it seemed reasonable. Anyway, good review, honest and realistic comments about what you were thinking as installing the bags. Very appreciated.
Thanks so much. Very much appreciate your kind words. Been using the bags and they still seem good. But I always kick them when I get on and off! 😂
@@harleydavidsonbeginner5428 You mentioned in the video that the bags already hade some marks after attaching them to the bike, do the bags look worse now or pretty much the same?
@@erlanilsson7852 they look totally the same. Like new. 😎
Just order myself a set after watching your video, my xvs 1100 has the same style rear end and exhaust setup.
They worked really well for me. Ironically i am just about to sell mine as i sold the Fatboy now and they are no longer needed.
Maybe someone in the UK (South) will see this and will buy them!
@Harley Davidson Beginner I'm south in surrey, how much you looking at?
@@ThatBikerDad I think they are like 400 Euros, +vat (Brexit!) and shipping?
I was going to advertise them for £200?
Those bags are OEM design for Yamaha v star 950 & 1300 cruisers. eBay is flooded with those same bags but they have no name brand.
Craftride is also a "no name brand" - it's literally just Motea slapping this fake "Authentic Biker Gear, plz trust us k???" brand on Chinese copies of OEM parts. Shady and intransparent as fuck if you ask me.
Great video. I was looking to get these to fit a Yamaha Raider.
Problem is, i don't know the fitting measurements, the Motea website only mentions the full size.
And the exhaust is quite big on these bikes...
Do you still have measurements that you drew on the cornflakes box?
It's to know where exactly the fittings go and how low the box actually hangs
Just looking at raiders on line. The exhaust is quite high. You could make them fit if you have the skills. However they may have to sit a little high? Sorry cornflakes box is long gone.
I can see people fitting a smaller bag to raiders, maybe that's the way to go?
Good luck and let me know how you get on!
Can you please upload the mounting instructions? The ones on the website are not the same. Thank you
Hi, I dont have the mounting instructions. I have since sold the bike and the panniers. If you look through the comments here you can find a link to them, posted by a kind person. Also if you pause the video at the right point you can see them on the screen.
I was looking to buy wheels from them but they said it would be 60 business days for shipping. Did you experience this for any other products?
i got mine in about a week and no long lead times quoted. I assume you are talking about Motea ? (and not the broken sportbikeshop.co.uk thing)
It's a good thing you didn't buy the Viking bags. I got those shipped from the US to Portugal in early 2021. They are already degrading. It's really crap fleather they use. Not ABS plastic. Bits have started wearing out. And it was a major pain to put them on my Vulcan S 650. How is the build quality of these? And can they hold decent amount of stuff for touring? The weight and the plasticness bothers me a little. Can you share more of your experience having these on now for a while? Thanks!
They were brilliant. I have just sold them as I no longer have the Fatboy. They are now living with a new owner for their next life! To see me touring with them, watch my video of me in Wales, I used them the whole trip. 😀
@@harleydavidsonbeginner5428 Good to hear. I'm eyeing a cool Vulcan-specific detachable mount, also from Craftride, on Motea, to go with these bad boys. So mounting and detaching would be a breeze. Thanks for the reply!
@@anigupta ride safe bro. I am touring in Ireland on my roadking police currently. Big hard bags and a top box, are a winner.😀🇮🇪☘️
@@anigupta I'm looking for similar solution for my vulcan too. Are those detachable mounts have a lock? in case if I want to leave the bike on a street for couple of hours.
Hello, do you think you can send me the instructions, I can’t find them on the website what so ever!
Many thanks
Look at the comments below, I think Duki posted them. I don't have them. If you get desperate pause my video at that point.
@@harleydavidsonbeginner5428 what a fucker to get the on, did the holes match to the bike, mine quite far off.
how much did this shipment weigh approximately? Unfortunately Motea doesn't ship it to my country so I am gonna get it shipped to an intermediate country and then ship it to myself.
I just checked the invoice in my email, i hoped it may show the weight. But it unfortunately does not. I threw the box away a year ago, so i can't read the label off that. They are bolted on the bike so i cant weigh them. I think the best thing would be to email them and ask the weight of the package?
Good luck, i hope it works out. I am in to a year of using them and like them.
They are available un AliExpress for 168€.I paíd for them 410€ un Motea 1 1/2 year ago.
Do you have problems with water entering into the bags , I have water inside ,my bags looks are letting water inside
Bike and bags are long sold. But other than maybe 1 or 2 drips, no water problems. I went to Wales with them, it rained quite a lot, so they have had a good wet weather test!
@@harleydavidsonbeginner5428 I go 30 minutes rainy yesterday before finishing work and was water all over the looks and inside , possible when bike is parked ,water gathering into key lock....
Does a full face helmet fit?
No, these are only slightly bigger than the standard Harley bags, i can't get a full face helmet in them either. I have come to the conclusion you need a top box to keep a helmet it. I use a helmet lock and lock the helmet to my bike. I have a bag if it rains.
@@harleydavidsonbeginner5428 I was testing the BMW R1200C and the saddlebags that it had were valid for a full face helmet. Now I have a VF750C Magna, and I want to remove the trunk to put saddlebags on it. Thanks
Good,
You can send me the PDF for assembly. They have removed it from the web and it would be very good for me.
Thanks in advance
I looked everywhere and can not find the pdf. I assume i just clicked it and didn't download. You can just pause the video at that point and its clear enough to read. That's my best suggestion! ;-)
@@harleydavidsonbeginner5428 A thousand thanks even so, I contacted Motea and waiting for the PDF since they have removed it from the web. If I get it, I'll send it to you if you want to add it. Assembly is not difficult, just know what screws or nuts you have to put. Even so, thank you very much
Good afternoon
After talking with motea they gave me the PDF. I upload it to Dropbox in case someone wants to download it. www.dropbox.com/s/hwt0zn4f5ds00cs/Alforjas.pdf?dl=0
@@MrDukimoto what a legend. Nice one! 👍
Just spin the L bracket of the indicator so it faces out _!
This was 3 years ago and I no longer own the bike. I think I tried that and it didn't fit properly or looked bad.
@@harleydavidsonbeginner5428 I put my comment down just incase some one else today watched your video lol 😆
Just because its old video may still carry on being watched in 5 years keep it up 😆
