Motorcycle Glossary Dictionary Term - Saddlebags

Saddlebags: Saddlebags are either soft or hard containers attached over the rear fender of a motorcycle. They hang down on each side of the bike and provide storage for items that are carried on the bike. Usually, saddlebags are made of leather and contain flaps that are fastened to the bag through buckles. These soft saddlebags are fastened to the bike with leather laces or other detachable devices. Hard saddlebags can be plastic, fiberglass, or metal and are usually permanently attached.
