ver the innovators, Saddlemen’s two newest luggage designs make life on the road easy…and a lot more convenient. The BR4100 Dresser Back Seat Bag and the TS3200DE Deluxe Tail Bag are part of the 2008 lineup and they’re available now. Bagger riders will love these things. Saddlemen has thought of everything and included it in a couple of neat and well-thought-out carryalls that pack plenty, look great, fit great and keep everything easily accessible. A rider couldn’t ask for more.
     The BR4100 Dresser Back Seat Bag lets a solo rider put that vacant rear seat to good use. This bag snugly nestles right into that empty seat rest. It’s shaped to fit. Measuring 18.5 in. high x 21 in. wide x 19 in. deep it’s big enough to do some good, too. This one’s going to be a valued travel companion. Besides becoming a pretty comfortable rider’s backrest all by itself, there’s a Full Size Top Opening so the packing is easy and a pair of Side Mesh Pouches are here for tucking away those maps and whatnots. Saddlemen has even included a couple of Insulated Side Pouches to keep drinks icy cold. There’s an Adjustable Bungee Net and up top the Dresser Back Seat Bag has Accessory Straps so you can add one of Saddlemen’s Roll Bags if you want or just strap on that extra jacket or sweatshirt. Fully rigid construction means the BR4100 can be leaned on even when it’s empty and Saddlemen has used its 1200 Denier SaddleTuff™ along with leather-like vinyl panels throughout. The bag looks good, works great and it’s all UV-, water- and weather-resistant. There’s a convenient Top Carry Handle, too, so the off-bike toting is easy. This one’s going to be popular.
     The TS3200DE Deluxe Tail Bag takes all that a little further, application-wise. Measuring 25 in. wide x 13.5 in. high x 11 in. deep this one expands out to a generous 27 in. width, its Zippered Expansion increasing the capacity to nearly 60 liters total. A Universal Quick-Detach Mounting System–another Saddlemen innovation–allows quick and secure mounting to the frame, the passenger pegs, the seat or a rack. There’s even a bottom tunnel formed into the bag so it neatly straddles most racks and seats for a great fit every time. Of course there are all sorts of Saddlemen functions. There’s a Wide Top Opening, there are External Zippered Pockets, there’s an Internal Mesh Pouch, there’s an Office Organizer for the business cards, pens and glasses and there’s even a Zip-Off Side Pouch with its own backpack straps. Rigid Construction keeps this one looking good when empty, too, and once again the construction is 1200 Denier SaddleTuff™ with leather-like panels, all UV-, water- and weather-resistant.
     Lots of good ideas here, plenty of applications and loads of Saddlemen innovation. There are answers to questions others haven’t even thought to ask. That’s Saddlemen, the company that brought SaddleGel™, Quick Detach Saddlebags and innovative mounting systems to the bike market. The Dresser Back Seat Bag and Deluxe Tail Bag are available now and with the holidays coming you think a rider would smile at one of these under the tree?
