Good video. I am in Scotland, got the same bike. I have Honda’s own canvas saddle bags, pricey, but good quality. Shad is excellent quality, from watch other videos. The spare key barrel, will be if you get a top box, so the same key fits all. Happy camping. Wee Mark.😊
Just a thought....take some black electrical tape and create some temporary black racing stripes to compliment the rest of the bike. I'm thinking maybe a double stripe to look best. If looks bad, just pull the tape off but at least you will get an idea of what some black racing stripes would look like. Cheers.
I like the look of the Shad ones, but out of curiosity, what were the original Viking bags you installed and decided were too large? I'm looking at solo motocamping, and they looked like they would be ideal for that and daily riding.
Hello there, The Viking bags that I bought initially was product number 54849 (Viking Warrior Large Honda Rebel 500 ABS Shock Cut-out Leather Motorcycle Saddlebags). I really should have gone with a smaller model of them but would have been less than 20L on each bag.
the bags look good. i have the Viking leather medium lockable bags on my 2019, along with a rear fender rack. without bags you would have to wear a back pack. good job.
I really wanted to give Viking bags another chance but the ones I got were just too big. Yess, it just makes the whole riding experience a lot more enjoyable!
I recently purchased a 2019 rebel 300 and went on a camping trip. I had to carry a backpack and bag tied down with my camping gear. It was brutal. I want to have the bags that look like hand bags Installed but I like these bags better. How much did they run you and I like the way they look. I like that you can lock them too.
M.A. Jufari, even though you spoke a bit in Spanish, I hear a bit of a Middle Eastern speach inflection as you speak. Are you from an Arab country originally? Those bags are the proper size for your Rebel 500-good choice! 😁👍😎. Take care it, and, when you need it to get you somewhere safely, it'll make sure you get there with no problem! Doug🐻🦅😁🧸
@@MAJafari Persia, that's the "old" word for Iran-yes! You're STILL from the Middle East!👍 I've grown up with people from the Middle East since 4th grade, have learned a lot of the customs, yet, not all! I find myself very much "at home" in a Chalean house-hold. To me, Arabic, is a beautiful language to hear spoken. I haven't heard it spoken in 35 years and I miss it terribly! I'm 58 years young now, you were just starting.iddle school(6-8 grades 35 years ago) yes, that makes you 40-47 years of age I guess! I found out-through my family tree that I have middle eastern heritage! Now I understand why I've had such a desire for the language, customs and the people. I'll be glued to my screen to watch all of your video presentation's. I'm subscribed to your channel just to let you know. Doug😁😎🤓🐻🏍️🦅👍
@@MAJafari I believe those SH23 saddle-bags are from a company named Shad. How much did you pay for the bags & brackets? To get a Rebel motorcycle for myself-I think those SH23 bags will be just right for me! I might be interested in getting the bike in red!😁😎 Hope to hear from you soon! I'll be looking for more videos from you. I would say you're an "hour" younger than me-I'm 58 years young now and will be 59 in November. My first time getting back on a motorcycle in 30 years, I'm excited to get back on & ride again! Your age is? Doug🏍️🦅🇺🇸🐻🧸🏁😁😎🤓
@@douglasradowick508 well said. I don't know why people avoid saying where they are from and they go back to history . like some Lebanese saying they are Phoenicians or Algerians saying they are Kabil.... Mr Jafari you should be proud of your origins and Persia doesn't exist anymore it is called Iran now and it is in the Middle East. Iran is a country with a lot of solid history.

Hello sir, can a motorcycle jacket fit on one of those pannier?
Where did u buy the saddles???
Hay brother, Rob here from Australia..are they big enough to put riding jackets in?
Hello there, Riding Jackets fits in it with no issue + a few smaller items like bottle of waters or Tank bags.
I'm sold bro..I put the orders in now..I ordered all black, hope I get all black!! 😬
It is so complicated, you are so good at following instructions 😂
Glad you think so!
Paint it same color wd the tank.
How much does the entire set of bars+bags weight?

YOU SHOULD PAINT THEM SAME COLOR OF THE BIKE.
I have bought the paint, Video on it coming soon ;)

Are the bags wider than the handlebars?
They are actually almost flushed if not narrower than the handlebars.
@@MAJafariThank you for the quick reply.
Paint match for sure
The right saddle box: would it fit with the OEM muffler..???
Hello there, I will actually check it for you tomorrow and let you know 🙌🏼
Hello there, I just checked and these bags have no issues with the OEM Mufflers. there are at least 5-6 inches of clearance.
I have Them on my Rebel. No problems
Y ahí cabe un casco integral?
Will this fit a full face helmet in it?
My modular won't fit in it, I can try a full face too but I doubt it.
M A Jufari, keep the saddle-bags as they are, it looks best!🤓🏍️🦅 Doug
This luggage rack is insane
Soft luggage looks way better, especially on a cruiser .
you can find , vinyl wrap match color
That’s a Great idea too
Love that idea❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing this information
Glad it was helpful!

Hello there,

Thank you so much Doug, means a lot.

I would paint the silver tops to match the tank color.
Great vid.
Thank you so much 🙌🏼
I think its look good if same colour as the tank
Sounds good. I’ve purchased the paint so we’ll see how it turns out!
That is brilliant
Thank you so much!
Painted matched
More space for camping stuff 😅
YESS! I can't wait to go to more camping trips.
Just get new paint, and it will look even better :)
Hello there, you mean pain the whole box something new?
@@MAJafari paint the boxes by the color of your bike :)
It is kinda ugly it just doesn't match the style
I know what you mean, they do look a little off, but lets see how they will look after I get them painted. thanks again.
