Saddlemen offers an expansive array of bike luggage, such as this Drifter Saddlebag.

Slant-sided, straight-up, rounded, with or without studs, fringe or conchos—Saddlemen offers it all. Shown here is the Jumbo Nostalgia Bag.


Saddlemen luggage holds its shape, offers exceptional UV- and water-resistance and includes rain covers. This is the Large Cruisin’ Tool Bag.

uggage is big business. Whether it’s just a tool pouch or sissybar bag, or a complete set of touring gear, there isn’t a rider out there who doesn’t want it and need it—one way or another. There’s luggage in all styles, all sizes, offered in a variety of materials and in all price ranges, and right there is where things can get complicated. Tracking down exactly what a particular customer might want, and is willing to spend, can be a real pain. Or it can be as simple as opening the FatBook to the Saddlemen pages. No matter what style or size bag a customer is looking for, no matter what his budget or what sort of features he wants, chances are you’ll find it at Saddlemen. Saddlemen has one of the broadest line of cruiser and Harley-Davidson luggage in the business.
     Whether it’s an all-leather/top-of-the-line set of saddlebags, or a top-quality synthetic, or some mid-range combo synthetic/leather saddlebags or even a simple tool bag, sissybar bag or handlebar bag Saddlemen has it. Saddlemen isn’t just a niche manufacturer, offering one of this and none of that. When it comes to bike luggage Saddlemen has the field covered. And while that alone is enough to make life easy, that’s just the beginning because Saddlemen offers all that luggage in just about any style your customers might need and with the features they want.
     Take styling. There are plain bags and there are funky nostalgic bags; there are straps, snaps and buckles; there’s slant-sided luggage, straight-up and rounded styles, and all of that is available with or without details like studs, fringe, or conchos. Those styles are integrated throughout the lineup, too. You can match a leather tool bag with conchos, for instance, with a nylon sissybar bag having those same conchos. Every piece of Saddlemen luggage can be style-matched—even if it’s bought piece by piece over time.
     And Saddlemen luggage performs. It’s easy to mount and use, its durability and carrying capacity is as good as it gets. Saddlemen includes features like lockable buckles, universal mounting harnesses, sissybar bags with shelves. Saddlemen luggage holds its shape, too. It has superior UV- and water-resistance, rain covers are included, and there’s a whole add-on list of easily detachable bags and pockets to make the luggage even more versatile. The feature-list goes on and on, varying by specific bag, but it all adds up to one thing—living with Saddlemen luggage is a joy.
     Here another bonus: All of that luggage can be style-matched with a Saddlemen seat. There’s an added down-the-line purchase for your customer.
     No question, luggage is big business, and when you’re selling Saddlemen—with all the styles, sizes, price ranges and feature options coming from a single company—it’s an easy business, too.
