Comments about Fieldsheer Compact Saddlebags:

I put these on my suzuki DRZ400S which required a heat shield for the right side which was easy to make,they fit the bike well and work well with the rack I also run

Nice top opening design with small side pocket for rain covers and larger side packet as well. Has soft protective shielding to protect sides of bike and seat. Quick release buckles for securing the bags in place so they won't shift around during riding. Well thought out product.

I try to ride everyday and these bags do a good job of hauling my stuff on my FZ6. Since they didn't come with instructions on how to mount them, i have figured a few different ways(under seat, Over seat etc).
On a few rainy trips i took with the rain covers on I was surprised to see that the bottom of the bags were wet, I guess from standing water seeping down between the bike and the bag. It wasn't too bad but I was glad I didn't have my laptop with me that day. I have since lost both rain covers. If you don't tighten them enough, they will blow off the bags at highway speeds, one disappeared completely and the other got stuck in my rear wheel twisting the chain guard into the spokes.
ALWAYS be sure those things are tight, the damage was negligible but it was a terrifying experience.

I usually enjoy Fieldsheer products, but this one really let me down. When I took them out of the box there was no instructions. I had to purchase bungies right away. Not a deal killer, but after using them on a 300 mile trip in which I had smooth roads and only put loose clothes in them to fill them up for experimentatal purposes, the seams attaching the top bands that ran across the seat to the saddle bags started to unstitch. Very poor support at the band/bag interface. I thought they looked a little shoddy in their design regarding this...and I was right. This will be returned. Roomy, but what good is it if they can't stay together.
