I can't wait to pick one of these up for longer road trips! This is the perfect addition to the EXFIL 7, which is a must-have in my opinion, and the quality is top notch.
Biltwell are straight up geniuses man. I’m impressed, as always. I frequent the Biltwell website and literally just bought this bag for a trip after watching this video. Lemmy, as always my man you described it perfectly. Thanks for the good video. I’m excited to use this bag.
Orange interior is great. I think it's a terrible design oversight to have a black interior on a bag (any bag). No one wants to spend time fumbling around in a black lined back in low light, in the rain, when in a rush etc.
I have this bag, and it holds a ton of stuff. For example, full change of clothes with boots. My XL Harley heavy leather jacket, gloves, hats, and a HJC full face modular helmet. ALL of that just in the main compartment!
I love bitwell products! My mini apes and a few other items on my Harley are bitwell. I recently removed my hard bags and put i tall sissy bar in its place. Great that this bag came out! Going to order one soon!
Love Biltwell products. Been buying their products since my first ride. I'm buying this bag ASAP. Can you point me to a "must have" list of tools/parts that every '86-'03 Harley Sportster owner should carry with on long trips? Thanks!
Here's Lemmy's general "shitty chopper" list as he calls it haha: _wrenches, hex keys, screwdrivers, axle tool, spoons, tubes, plugs or patches, CO2 inflator, wire, points file, points & condenser if the bike is not mag-fired or EI equipped, 'lectrical tape, zip ties, a handful of common SAE hardware, a fuel bottle, and a beer coozie._ Feel free to pick and choose what works for your situation. I carry much the same for my Triumph Tiger, except that my tools and hardware are metric. -DrewZilla
Always nice to have tool in case of emergency but the best insurance against breakdowns is proper maintenance on your bike, in 20 year I have never broken down on the side of the road because I make sure my bike is prepared for whatever distance I expect to be riding. Of course there is the random lottery of shit failing but you aren't going to fix a cracked piston with a 12mm wrench.
Jrock420blam exactly, also, who would carry around an entire set of wrenches and sockets? not to mention i'd rather have them in a small canvas bag rather than having a dedicated organizer in my bag
Revzilla: you mentioned the taller the sissy bar, the better. I have the standard height sissy bar on my 2020 Low Rider S. You think thats tall enough for this bag?
If you are going to spin this around on the sissy bar it just depends on your bike. Some models, the bag will then sit on top of the plate and can bend the bracket, meaning you could potentially break it off and lose your plate. Other models have enough fender behind the seat where that would not be a problem. I suggest just checking out your bike, you'll probably need a free 8 inches of space where the bag can live that won't touch your license plate or brake light. -Zack
Yes by strapping it to the hard case might make it hard to open the hard case .. and the hard case has a rack with a dry bag that has a large tent and sleeping bag in it .. considering that fact I might have to add a sissy bar that bolts to the sides fo the frame . and FZ-07 is a bit small for a Touring bike .. The Yamaha 900 Tracer is a better choice as Triumph Tiger Sport 1050 is not sold in the USA .
@Boyitellyouhwhat I mean, he’s not wrong. Got about 5 surplus stores full of “operator” shit that people get rid of within walking distance to my house

This would work well on an ADV too, looks like it would strap to a seat great

God damn lemmy can sell the shit out of product.

How's this bag for every day use.
Question, if I’m riding 2up would I need a luggage rack to mount this bag? Or would it be fine without one?

biltwell chrome plating sucks there i said it.. these bags look nice tho
Can you send to indonesia?
That padding better be really thick. Otherwise leaning up against your tools probably isn't all that comfortable.
it's thick
Can you put inside de bag a full face helmet? concretly, Shoei NXR size L? Thank you.
The bag is too narrow to fit a full-face helmet unless you don't mind the bag being bent to fit the curve of the helmet. -DrewZilla
bag fits my shoei neotec 2 size M as well as an entire bag of stuff.
Has anyone strapped one to the back of a sissy bar? I often do this so I can have a passenger too
I have. It works very well
Does a full face fit through the roll top?
Yes, though it has to be a more compact full-face. Very large shell sizes might not fit. -DrewZilla

This guy is an imposter. He's not really Lemmy :0)
Will that fit my sporster 48?
If you have a sissy bar, then yes it will fit your 48. -DrewZilla

I got a 14 inch sissy bar, will this work?
Yes, this would fit a 14 inch sissy bar. -DrewZilla

I think I could put this in front of a hard top case if I have no Pillion .. Anyone else try this ? High Price but good quality ..
Yes, you could do so, but keep in mind that it might make opening the hard case a bit harder. -DrewZilla
Yes by strapping it to the hard case might make it hard to open the hard case .. and the hard case has a rack with a dry bag that has a large tent and sleeping bag in it .. considering that fact I might have to add a sissy bar that bolts to the sides fo the frame . and FZ-07 is a bit small for a Touring bike ..

Givi 35 Liter side cases and 42 Liter Top case is rather small ..
For $200 bucks??? you are out of your freaking mind. Save your dough. visit your local Army/Navy store or military surplus and get a bag very similar.

Miss lemmy
Tools pouch... is that what we call CIA torture equipment now? 😱.
I’m watching too many movies... 😂
$200? ... no.
With a 26% failure rate within the first four years, this bag was made for Harleys 😂
if u ride a bike with a super tall sissy bar odds are u expect to use tools... lol in other words its a piece of shit harley
How many times have I been broke down on the side of the road? Zero! Ok, if gas counts, once :)
