They saved my legs
A few weeks ago, I was riding home on the highway going about 90kph, when a car struck me from the rear in a side-swipe.
My bike and I went down into a low-side, and these bags not only held together, but kept the weight of the bike off my legs, keeping them safe.
Thanks in part to these bags, I left what could've been a major accident, with one small bruise and a scratch. The bike's plastics and Akra exhaust were also protected. Alas, the near brand-new bike is a write-off.
As for the bags themselves, they're amazing. I can find ways to fit them onto just about any bike. Lots of space, super high quality. Fitting the rainproof covers is tricky sometimes, if you angle it wrong, they pool water at the bottom and soak through the bags. Granted, this happened once, out of numerous trips through heavy rain.
I'll be buying a second pair asap!

Great Bags
I like these Cortech bags. They fit great and install was relatively easy. Once you get the center straps set, you can set them and forget them. Then it takes literally seconds to remove the bags and put them back on again. They are secured very well to the passenger pegs. My bike is a CBR 954 and they fit awesome. My girlfriend is a geologist and we love going for rides and collecting rocks. Well these bags fit the bill as she now has a set on her bike as well. No rocks are safe if we are out riding together with our Cortech bags. I highly recommend!

Great bags!
I recently purchased these bags for a circle tour of Lake Superior (3500 total kms from home and back). I ride a 2005 Yamaha FZ6 which has under seat exhaust and I was concerned about the bags over heating and/or melting from the exhaust. However, the bags worked very well and I was able to position them such that they did not touch any part of the exhaust. Their size is great and they looked great on the bike. I would highly recommend these bags. The only reason I cannot give them a 5 star rating is that they are not waterproof (we had three straight days of at least some rain, and some very hard rain) and while the "waterproof" covers supplied with the bags fit well and mostly kept the rain out, the interior of the bags did allow some moisture in and thus some clothes did get damp. I was still very satisfied with this purchase and I hope to use them for a long time.

Can definitely hold a lot of stuff
I bought these along with the 24 L tail bag to hold three days worth of clothes, a sweater, a pair of shoes, a water bottle, a DSLR camera, a toiletry bag, snacks and other miscellaneous items. These bags can hold a lot and I didn't even use the expansions. The straps need to be adjusted/tightened after three hours or so of highway riding. The rain covers don't do much and I actually lost two out of three of them on a long trip. Initial setup took some time because every bike is different and these are universal bags. They are very convenient because they can be unclipped quickly. Somehow I managed to rub the inside, lower edge of one of the bags. Not sure if it happened during a hard lean and rear wheel compression. Overall I would recommend these bags because they hold a lot, look decent, are well made and are a good value.

Perfect fit!
We ride Triumph Thuxtons. The challenge was trying to find bags that not only fit, but worked well and looked good. We went on a camping trip from Ottawa Canada through the Aderondacks and the White mountains, including New Hampshire and Maine. The bags held all our camping, cooking, and clothing. The bags stayed secure during the entire trip. They are easy to remove when required and do not put the bike or the rider off balance. Although small, when you know how to pack you can fit everything you need for a 10 day camping trip.

Pretty Good for what it is
I've used these saddlebags on numerous trips on my 2007 yamaha r6 and found some pros and cons:
pros: - Good amount of storage space for extended trips.
- Material seems very sturdy and i have no doubt these bags would last for a long time.
- The laced zippers on top of the bags make it a lot easier and convenient to close/open the bag especially when its already installed on the bike.
cons: - The straps that goes from the bag to the bike gets in the way of the rain cover. I've found that with the rain covers installed, it will keep your stuff dry on a light rain. But when it starts raining a little harder for a prolonged time, water will find its way inside the bag. After a few failed attempts on trying to utilize the rain cover, i've given up and just started putting my clothes in a dry pack, then put that in the saddlebag. This way it stays dry no matter what.
- On a sport bike, expect the bottom of the saddlebags to sag inwards. Can't really blame the bag for that, but just a heads up to people.
Overall a good bag that enables me to take my sportbikes on very long road trips.

Great Touring Bags!
These saddle bags are great! I bought them to do some trips on my 05 Honda 919 and they work very well. Very impressed with the quality and the amount of storage these provide. The fit, finish and detail are top notch. I've also received a lot of comments on how good they look on the bike. I've ridden over 2000 km with them and there's no sign of melting by the heat generated from the dual exhaust they lean against! This was concerned of mine when I purchased them. The ease of install and removal is impressive. Minutes to install, seconds to remove and the bags have never shifted around on me while on the road. My only complaint is that they don't come with a locking mechanism but hey, these are soft bags, not hard cases so I'm okay with it. As always with Canada's Motorcycle, the delivery was very fast as these were listed in stock.

Good Purchase
Very good quality saddlebags, they look really nice installed, good capacity for a week ride or so. You might want bigger capacity for longer trips. Overall, good purchase

Questions
How easy are these to put on and take off of a bike? I was hoping to use these on my commute to work and since I dislike using backpacks, I was searching for another option. I don't mind carrying them in after parking the bike.
They are not snap on and snap off bags like some. There are snap locks on the straps, but like as not by the time you have them mounted, a couple of the snap buckles will be hard to access, so it will take you a couple of minutes to remove the bags and top pack. You probably know that the bags are to small to hold a helmet. Otherwise, they are very well made, handle the weather reasonably well, and are good enough for picking up groceries and other errands. I will mention though that the bags will hang rather badly, tending to bend inwards with weight, and if you are fussy about looks, you will want someone to jerry rig up a couple of metal braces.

Hello, I need some clarification, the ad says 36L for both bags. Does that mean each or the two together so 18 L each. Is that the max. Extended capacity?
18L each. Extended capacity isn't given in L, but probably a couple of additional liters across both bags.

Will this fit on a Versys 1000, year 2013?
Most of the bags on our site are not vehicle specific, they are universal. Please use the measurements provided in the item to details to see if this is a good fit for your bike. These bags strap on top of your seat and hold underneath with two quick-disconnect buckles.

Would this bag fit well on a EX650 Ninja 650 ABS 2014? Is it holding well while riding on the highway?
Hi Bernard,
Most of the bags on our site are not vehicle specific, they are universal. Please use the measurements provided in the item to details to see if this is a good fir for your bike. There will be no issues ones the bag is mounted on the bike with regards to holding during riding.

Would anyone know if these bags would fit on a 2014 Honda CB 500X?

Will this work on a 2012 CBR600? It has an under tail exhaust (like the ad picture shows)
Yes it will. The exhaust is narrower than the seat so you’ll have enough clearance and the sides don’t radiate that much heat.

Hello, I have a ‘18 Suzuki DR200 Dual Sport and bought these bags but it seems that bag has to lay right on the exhaust...seems no other position will work (not higher, further front, nor back position will work). Am I missing something?
No, you're not missing anything. The photos of the DR200 I looked at showed a vehicle with a high-mounted exhaust pipe. The pipe is right where the saddle bags hang. Saddle bags usually sit above the pipes, but that is with street bikes, of which most have low- to mid-height exhaust pipes. Looking at the pipe location on the DR200, I can't think of any saddle bags that could be mounted without interfering with it.
A tail bag could work, although there don't appear to be many brackets you can use to tie it down. A bit of custom work to install some tie-down points here might do the trick. Tail bags aren't that large, though. The Cortech saddle bags are a convenient size for commuting and day trips and are more useful than my tail bag.
The alternate is a backpack, which I have used for carrying stuff for decades. These ddays I use a waterproof bag from MEC: Aegir 20 Waterproof Pack, http://www.mec.ca/en/product/5051-299/Aegir-20-Waterproof-Pack. Not huge, but neither are the Cortech Super 2.0 saddle bags. The MEC backpack is designed for use on the water (e.g., canoeing, kayaking) and is about as watertight as you can get, which is useful if you are caught by rain while driving. If you don't mind wearing a backpack, I can certainly recommend this particular one.
