The difference between them is in the fit as well as the ease of use. Most bags come in either hard-mount, throw-over kits or a quick disconnect system. The first thing you should ask yourself is whether you want saddlebags that are easily removable or not? Some are more permanent, so this is an important factor to consider. Please keep in mind that when you add items to the bag, the bags will tend to drop slightly due to the weight. Regardless of the style, shape and size bags you want, the motorcycle you ride will dictate what you can use. Manufacturers do not consider damage to saddlebags from contact with the exhaust as a product defect or warranty issue it is viewed as neglect / improper install. Even though the bag might have Heat Resistant Material, it's recommended to have a minimum of 2 to 4 inches of clearance space between the exhaust and the saddlebags. Height: Measure from the fender rail to the top of the motorcycle exhaust to determine the height. (Depending on your bike model, some bikes will require for the turn signal to be moved, we have turn signal kits that will help with that) By measuring this part of your bike, it will help determine the length of saddlebags that you need to look for.

Length: Measure the bike from the end of the seat to the turn signals. You want to avoid a bag that’s too large because it would just look funky and it might even cause performance issues. Think about the size of your bike and what would be the best size. It’s recommended you go with the size that’s proportionate to your motorcycle.
