Hey Gang, I saw these willie and max saddle bags at a bike shop near me and they looked pretty good. Inexpensive too.

Anybody else have them? How have they held up?

They have a lot of products on their website. Which one did you get?

DH got them for his bike, but we've yet to install them. I don't know how they'll wear, hopefully do the job. Just looking at the overall material, not the top quality stuff. I especially noticed the plastic buckle for the lid

But, like you mentioned, they are inexpensive and they're there to do a job. That's why DH got 'em.

I bought a Willie and Max Sissybar bag and so far it's been pretty solid, especially after drilling holes in it to mount an LED light bar.

I've got the raptor series on my Rebel and they are great function wise. I've got saddlemen on my S50 and they are better quality, but don't work as well as W&M in my opinion. The W&M zipoff in seconds and have a carrying handle so they work like luggage. The Saddlemen take longer to get off and aren't as easy to get around with. They were more expensive and are better quality, but if I buy saddlebags again it will be W&M.

Thanks Scott. I was lookin at the rapter series myself with the black chrome maltese cross. it looks like a nicely made bag, but from just a picture on a web page it can be hard to tell when you cant touch/feel em.
