t's not clear who first said “You can’t take it with you,” but it’s a sure bet it wasn’t a motorcyclist. Today’s motorcyclists are more prone to taking things along—sweaters, walking shoes, cell phones, sunglasses, extra gloves—than ever before. Just strapping a duffel bag on the seat doesn’t cut it, either. Today’s riders want style from a saddlebag, and quality, too. The new Saddlemen Express Elite saddlebags have it all.

The Drifter™ Slant Saddlebags offer maximum capacity with modern styling. This is a Drifter slant saddlebag with pocket.

Along with existing lines of Saddlemen luggage, known for their outstanding value, the premium-quality, high-end Express Elite saddlebags make Saddlemen your one-stop source for luggage in all popular price and feature ranges.

Saddlemen’s Desperado™ line features the traditional chrome-studded biker style with a modern twist. Shown here is a medium Desperado slant saddlebag.

Selected models use genuine leather construction while other models are made of materials more suitable to the application for a durable and long-lasting saddlebag. All Elite saddlebags feature heavy-duty rigid construction so they hold their shape when empty, and are easier to pack. The rigid construction makes them suitable for off-bike carrying, too, a task made even easier by detachable mounting and carrying handles.
Some saddlebag manufacturers put their effort exclusively into the bags themselves instead of the mounting system. Saddlemen has put as much thought into what doesn’t show as it did into what does, and has come up with a fully adjustable yoke mounting system that installs in minutes. For those times when you want to carry your bags into your motel room, or just take them off for a short ride around town, Elite saddlebags are easily removable without taking off the bike’s seat.

Elite saddlebags are packed with features at a very competitive price. This is the Jumbo Nostalgia saddlebag with fringe.

There’s no point in stowing your gear in a saddlebag that anyone else can open and take it out of, so Elite saddlebags use a closure system that consists of leather straps with 1-inch lockable chrome buckles—the locks are included. Selected models have stylish conchos and chrome studs, and come in a fringed nostalgia version for those who insist on the classic look. All Elite saddlebags are weather-resistant to help keep your cargo dry, and have inside mesh pockets so you can keep personal items separate from everything else.

Packed with features, Saddlemen Express Elite luggage is competitively priced, with amazing value in each pair. So don’t believe it when they say you can’t take it with you. With Elite saddlebags, you can take it all.

With the addition of the feature-packed Elite, the Saddlemen Express line now extends from upper-end leather bags to competitively priced luggage in all market segments. They’re sold exclusively through Parts Unlimited, so see your rep about the new Express saddlebags today.
