Now that you've started down the bagger path the need for more space will grow and the hunger never end!! Before too long logic will disappear totally replaced by a Road King or even a Road Glide 😯!!! Oh that sweet sweet space! 😜
Lol I just ordered these last night cuz I too hate carrying a back pack to work. Plus in Arizona it gets super hot to have anything on your back. Plus these bags look way better than traditional “bagger, leather saddle bags” lol 😂 these are more minimalist in my opinion
That intro was funny as heck. Bags are awesome. I was always backpacking it on my last bike, but when I traded up to a used Soft Tail Slim it had bags and I love not having to carry a backpack and I don’t carry nearly half of what you carry. Fun content as always!
When form beats function lol. Doesn't look good, but the bags look well made and useful. Best thing they're easy to remove. I've been looking at similar bags but under the seat over the battery and electronics cover from Bad&G for my Street Bob
I like how functional these bags are same goes for the newer escape bags. Easy on and off let’s you grab them and put them inside if you need to keep thieves away. Down side is if your going to get these bags now. They are no longer waterproof zippers and the waterproof covers only come with the escape bags.
Just got some of these used. Anyone have the install sheet that comes with them? Looks fairly straightforward but just want to double check myself mostly on the brackets.
I hit dislike for a second just to let you know my feelings then swapped it to like ahaha, I’m sure backpacking that equipment would get old quick...I understand 😢
+Olivier Roach it gets VERY old. Not only does it get heavy and hot but the hassle of taking it off and putting it on while fully geared up is ridiculous
Guess it's not a Jax Teller special no more . but with that kind of gear I would want some kind of locks. Hey welcome to the Baggers community. And you got me with the sad talking I was like oh no . Good One
Hahah I like these bags no hardware or relocating needed and enough room for what you need, I’m glad thrashin came out wit something simple like this... Ima eventually scoop these up... good pick up!
I am considering getting some accessory bags for my bike as well. Wearing the backpack in the hot summer months really sucks on longer rides. Those bags look nice on the Dyna.
In tears right now LOL. I was expecting large hard cases but those look pretty cool. I've got a set of leather throw overs but want some quick detach sh-medium hard cases but that molly webbing tho...might have to reconsider it.
Bike N' Bird i bought some leather swingarm bags that i had to zip tie to my sportster....off of ebay..very cheap..but damm..they r very well built...i love them...hows that drone workin..i saw that breeze that records 4k ..at walmart for 199.99..reduced from 299...
Man I don’t know what’s it’s like in Texas but I had the biltwell bag on my bike similar to these and it got jacked... I got some hard bags that are pretty good quality off eBay for 100 with a lock and everything. They are small and look clean.
Not my style. On a Harley leather is proper but, this is just wrong.............To each there own next comes tea cup holders and a vase for some flowers I guess..
The reason for saddle bags is to carry your shit, but those might carry a sandwich. I didn't wear a back pack in school and sure as hell wouldn't wear one on a motor cycle. I'm 48.
Hey Birdman, I just watched this install video on the Thrashin Essential Bags and noticed you have a strap that goes from the front edge of the bag and wraps around your shock/shock mount. Wondering where you picked up that strap? Please advise.
Do you further pack/pad your DSLR when you bring it along? I would be nervous just popping in the accessory bag like that, but if you haven’t had any issues, it would certainly free up a lot of space!
+Wicked Hazel nope no padding. If I took less stuff I would put something in to fill the void but there's enough stuff to keep it from moving too much. DSLRs these days are tough.
Can you fit a riding jacket in there? I would assume if the jacket had armour in it that would be a no go, but the jacket I have only has a spine protector that can be easily removed. Diggin the vids and bike
Bike N' Bird Wow bro I've got 3 friends that use them and they love them and one has the leather pro line. And I've had 2 sets of bags on my bike so far so to answer your comment JR I have seen them in use and on bikes my Friends ride sorry if I made u mad bro lol.
+Dan Thompson im not mad, just calling a spade a spade. You've got 3 friends with positive opinions... great. Now look at the HUNDREDS of horror stories online. And when you're done with that, go look at the dozens of polls put up on dyna forums where leather pro CRUSHES them every single time. I would love some leather pros but they're also 3x the cost of these (which hold literally everything I need as demonstrated in this video). If I don't need bigger bags then why would I fork out the extra cash for them?
To be more fair, a HD Roadglide or Street Glide, or any HD touring bike would have looked better, but I am a douchebagger rider and my opinion means jackshit! The bags on his bike look cool for what they are, they carry exactly what he needs them to carry, and they didn’t cost a small fortune to purchase. +bike n’ bird dude your baby bags look kick ass on your bike, don’t pay any attention to these “shoulda/woulda” bastards! Great video!
JonnyRoadblock wow they look like shit they don't even go with the lines of the bike and please don't kiss his ass he has some good ideas I just don't like the bags and I told him that.
Could you go a little bit into detail as to how not to use the brackets they sent with the bags? You just brushed over the topic and I have that big question mark.
Sooooo glad you posted this! I've been looking at trading my 17 FXDB in on an older Street Glide because I miss bags and a fairing so much. I carry too much for a backpack to be worth it when I ride to work. If the Street Glide path doesn't work out and I'm on the dyna for a bit longer, I'll definitely be picking these up!
Any wear and tear on the paint? Thinking of getting these since I carry crap to and from work all time tired of stitching bags to the sissy bar or my back.
+Joe Glenn initial reviews is they are very high quality. Definitely not big enough for a cross country trip or something of that nature but perfect for my needs

Bagger 🤔😂. I know what you mean it’s much easier than a rucksack ! And convenient. They are tiny But Not offensive! 👍 So No camera tripod on the front now ?! 😂 , and I just got used to it 👍👍🍺🍺🥃👊
Love my essentials bags! Look great on my dyna. Had to take advantage of thrashin supplys black friday sale. After having them for almost 3 months i cant complain.
The bike I bought came with bags on it. I thought I’d take them off, but I quickly realized how important they are. Even the day I bought it would’ve been difficult without he bags (I’d have no way to take my paperwork home). They’re awesome for all your little things so you don’t have to keep stuff in your pockets (which I hate)
Yup. and one thing a lot of people fail to realize is i'm not like your average biker. I HAVE to carry this stuff I mentioned in the video to produce videos. My payload is greater than your average joe.
Bags clearly say essentials I don’t know why people are talking about size it’s not like my essentials are a f*cking mini fridge or gallon of milk they look fine it’s a dyna not a bagger it’d look wrong if it had full size bags.
I hate bags but even I have a swingarm bag on my softail because sometimes you have to carry some stuff. Those bags actually fit pretty well with the tactical look and all. A bungee net over the seat hooked into those loops gives you even more functionality. Good stuff.
Every hates the way Saddle Bags look until they have to carry something. Then they get over it. Happens everytime.
+Road Glider I don't mind them especially something this small
Now that you've started down the bagger path the need for more space will grow and the hunger never end!! Before too long logic will disappear totally replaced by a Road King or even a Road Glide 😯!!! Oh that sweet sweet space! 😜
+Robert Layton lol I already got a taste for it when I had uncle kens road glide while he was moving. I would love a bagger just can't afford one lol
Your opening had me thinking much worse announcement was coming. I'm all for saddlebags, they're useful and if detachable then, best of both worlds
Lol mission accomplished!
Lol I just ordered these last night cuz I too hate carrying a back pack to work. Plus in Arizona it gets super hot to have anything on your back. Plus these bags look way better than traditional “bagger, leather saddle bags” lol 😂 these are more minimalist in my opinion
That intro was funny as heck. Bags are awesome. I was always backpacking it on my last bike, but when I traded up to a used Soft Tail Slim it had bags and I love not having to carry a backpack and I don’t carry nearly half of what you carry. Fun content as always!
+Tattooed Alex yeah man even with as small as they are I was able to carry everything I needed this past weekend
Quick question. Did the throw over design damage the paint underneath over time?
Very tempted to a set of these but concerned about that.
Great video review. Just one question. Will a 6-pack of beer BOTTLES fit in there? Or would I have to put the bottles in individually?
Awsome intro! Love the way you brought the bags up. And BTW, think they don’t look half bad on the Dyna, maybe I’ll get some for mine now.
+Justin Chanona I have to agree. Very stealthy and holds exactly what I need
Bike N' Bird I’m excited to see the long term reviews on them to tell how they hold up.
That made me smile. They look nice on there!
+Harley Dave Thank you sir. I have to agree
When form beats function lol. Doesn't look good, but the bags look well made and useful. Best thing they're easy to remove. I've been looking at similar bags but under the seat over the battery and electronics cover from Bad&G for my Street Bob
Hi, I know this is old but whats the best way to clean the bags? I don't want to use chemicals that might damage them
Intro was hilarious. Welcome to SbA... Saddlebags Anonymous 🤣
I like how functional these bags are same goes for the newer escape bags. Easy on and off let’s you grab them and put them inside if you need to keep thieves away. Down side is if your going to get these bags now. They are no longer waterproof zippers and the waterproof covers only come with the escape bags.
Yeah!!!! Now you understand better why I have saddle bags!!! My bike is my office... Laptop, charger, Document, and paperwork 😎
+Shafiq Ackbar Yeah man I love them!
Its like they were made for your drone...
+John Maxwell dude right?! Its scary how perfect it fits in there
With the angles you shown I actually think it helps balance the bike out. With the tall windshield I think it helps equalize everything.
+Tim Dunbar It really does. Ken said from the back you can barely even see them because the lines match up with the seat and tank.
I can't really tell, but could you fit a rolled up jacket in one of those?
If it was a light wind breaker type jacket or maybe a light hoodie yes. Don't think it would fit a heavy leather jacket
Just got some of these used. Anyone have the install sheet that comes with them? Looks fairly straightforward but just want to double check myself mostly on the brackets.
I hit dislike for a second just to let you know my feelings then swapped it to like ahaha, I’m sure backpacking that equipment would get old quick...I understand 😢
+Olivier Roach it gets VERY old. Not only does it get heavy and hot but the hassle of taking it off and putting it on while fully geared up is ridiculous
Is a tiny trailer next? 😜😜😜
+FreeRider1959 only if it can fit a dog
Guess it's not a Jax Teller special no more . but with that kind of gear I would want some kind of locks. Hey welcome to the Baggers community. And you got me with the sad talking I was like oh no . Good One
Is it just me or do these bags need a locking mechanism.
Hahah I like these bags no hardware or relocating needed and enough room for what you need, I’m glad thrashin came out wit something simple like this... Ima eventually scoop these up... good pick up!
+Hanley Daleson They really are the perfect size. Used them on a 250 mile trip this weekend and they worked GREAT
Bike N' Bird can’t wait to see the vids with them in action... I actually haven’t seen em out in the wild 🤙
Those are pretty stealthy bags. I've got the same dslr barely any clue how to use it though lol
+Hali Moto Lol I unfortunately downgraded to this camera so I still to this day go to use a feature it doesn't have
Bike N' Bird Haha the struggle is real
Would you know if they’d fit on an Indian scout bobber ?
They should
Does it require a saddlemen seat or I can use the regular fxbb seat with them?
They can be used with any seat.
ever worry about theft when going somewhere?
Yo this is eric from va beach va
No place for a Sixpack of cold beer?
+Ride With Patrick b
Drink whiskey
I bet you could put a sixer in there.
Looks pretty sweet actually, I have to admit I spewed abit in my mouth when you first said it ha ha
+SkidPig haha glad I could win you over
I am considering getting some accessory bags for my bike as well. Wearing the backpack in the hot summer months really sucks on longer rides.
Those bags look nice on the Dyna.
+Eric warren With the combination of my bar bag and these bags I have the perfect amount of storage.
Sandwich bagger!
In tears right now LOL. I was expecting large hard cases but those look pretty cool. I've got a set of leather throw overs but want some quick detach sh-medium hard cases but that molly webbing tho...might have to reconsider it.
Jazzzzzy!
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever see your bike from the back. Bags make it look like she’s been doing her squats 👍🏻
Love the look of those bags! I do have 1 question, does your bar bag block your view of the speedometer? 😂😆😂😂🤣💦🍌
+Wet _Banana definitely
U finally got out of the closet.....thats what the man does.......but thwy work...waaasaaaapp bird brain.....✌ hammie
+ironhead hooligan they work very well"

I like the looks of those bags. I’ve got bags on my Dyna cause I hate wearing a back pack
Man I don’t know what’s it’s like in Texas but I had the biltwell bag on my bike similar to these and it got jacked... I got some hard bags that are pretty good quality off eBay for 100 with a lock and everything. They are small and look clean.
+Jesus Orozco my bike almost never leaves my sight unless its in my garage so I really don't worry about that
bags look fine, small bags on a west coast club bike look good to me, plus it gives you more distance for rides
Not my style. On a Harley leather is proper but, this is just wrong.............To each there own next comes tea cup holders and a vase for some flowers I guess..
+Cyclo TeChTwIsTeR What color vase do you think I should go with? I was thinking amber but salmon is a close second.
Also, their*
The reason for saddle bags is to carry your shit, but those might carry a sandwich.
I didn't wear a back pack in school and sure as hell wouldn't wear one on a motor cycle. I'm 48.
+GearinSuper You are a true badass. I wanna be just like you when I grow up.
Hey Birdman, I just watched this install video on the Thrashin Essential Bags and noticed you have a strap that goes from the front edge of the bag and wraps around your shock/shock mount. Wondering where you picked up that strap? Please advise.
It comes included with quite a few straps
Do you further pack/pad your DSLR when you bring it along? I would be nervous just popping in the accessory bag like that, but if you haven’t had any issues, it would certainly free up a lot of space!

You called it. With no armor im sure you could but with armor its a no go
Conley retro bags bro would of looked great
+Dan Thompson lolz. Do like 3 minutes of research and youll see how shitty those really are. Get outta here with your uneducated opinions.
Bike N' Bird Wow bro I've got 3 friends that use them and they love them and one has the leather pro line. And I've had 2 sets of bags on my bike so far so to answer your comment JR I have seen them in use and on bikes my Friends ride sorry if I made u mad bro lol.

Could you go a little bit into detail as to how not to use the brackets they sent with the bags? You just brushed over the topic and I have that big question mark.
They're basically just strap holders. If you can get a strap back behind your strut, no need for them.
Not a bagger, but I like those bags. I'm learning a lot from your videos, keep doing you. Thanks.
do you think a half shell would fit in the bag
My wife's purse is bigger than those bags. Glad to see you can still get all your gear in them. What kind of drone did you get?
I will refrain from making some comment that will drag the conversation down further into the gutter. I will check out the Spark... thanks!!
+Motorcycle Men ah a sign of true maturity 😂
Sooooo glad you posted this! I've been looking at trading my 17 FXDB in on an older Street Glide because I miss bags and a fairing so much. I carry too much for a backpack to be worth it when I ride to work. If the Street Glide path doesn't work out and I'm on the dyna for a bit longer, I'll definitely be picking these up!
Never mind... traded for a street glide today!
nice into
I've wondered what that thing hanging off the bar bag was. I thought it was some kind of girly key chain.
+Wayne Adams are you referring to the joby pod?
Any wear and tear on the paint? Thinking of getting these since I carry crap to and from work all time tired of stitching bags to the sissy bar or my back.
Very little under the seat area. If you have a 2up seat you'll never see the wear
Thanks man 👍🏻
I dont think they look bad. Plus anything with MOLLE gets my 👍👍👍
+Tyler Fair they really don't look bad at all. And yeah man with all the molle attachments, I could strap a ton of stuff to em
I've been looking for a bag or bags. Not sure this is what i'm looking for but glad to know it's out there. Will watch for your review as time passes.
+Joe Glenn initial reviews is they are very high quality. Definitely not big enough for a cross country trip or something of that nature but perfect for my needs

+FatBoy740 lol no I strapped my raingear to that spot now
Bike N' Bird Not fair 😂😂👍🍺👊
Should of gotten fxdxt bags but once u get saddle bags u won't go back
Not true, I went from a Road Glide to a sporty 48.
Should of went with at least a synthetic material so it could match better with your seat
+EzEddie or you know.... put whatever I want on there...
Lmao I love the way you started this! 10/10
I feel like the drone needs a name. Bob? Iceman? The Millennium Falcon?
+Zachary Fett his name is DJ Tony Spark
Love my essentials bags! Look great on my dyna. Had to take advantage of thrashin supplys black friday sale. After having them for almost 3 months i cant complain.
+Dalton Cahn That's good to hear! Took them 250 miles this weekend and was very impressed

keep up the good work
Would the bags work with the quick detach sissy bar on the bike ?
Yes. It's a bit of pain getting it on and off but I ran them with one for most of the time I had this bike
Thanks for the reply an the awesome videos.
Are they waterproof?
do these bags work with the stock seat, or do you need a 2-up seat?
They'll work with a solo
Dude that was funny as hell
Lol should've bought the switchback! ;)
nahhhhh
Haha, you’re trying so hard not to laugh in the beginning
+Fro Rider im no professional lol
Good production value! Especially the product voice over.
+Jon Tiffin thank you sir
YEAH! Welcome! Next mod...a Road Glide!😂
+David Jasso if I ever were to get a bagger it would be a road glide special
Great opening!
those look just like the cases i used to carry my cd collection in
+hayez tattooz lol! Very similar material

+Its FarrisWheel You called it sir. Couldn't have said it better myself.
I love these bags. I have a set on my Iron
+Charles Cotton I used them on a 250 mile ride this past weekend and they worked so damn good
Hahahahahahaha that shit was funny! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao essentials bags don’t count. They are so freakin nice. But dang they are expensive
You get what you pay for.
Dude, I'm ashamed for you... And don't be surprised when miss bnb gives you that ring back because I wouldn't blame her...
Lol
I mean that's not far off xD
Plus it's my opinion sorry to get you mad but they are ugly.
+Dan Thompson YAAAYYYY OPINIONS!
