Saddlemen Highwayman Slant Saddlebags: Classic Style Meets Modern Utility

The Saddlemen Highwayman Slant Saddlebags are designed for the rider who appreciates the timeless look of a traditional cruiser but demands the reliability of modern materials. Whether you are commuting to work or heading out for a weekend getaway, these bags offer a versatile and affordable storage solution. The “slant” design is specifically engineered to complement the rear shocks and fender lines of most metric and American cruisers, providing a custom-integrated look without the custom-integrated price tag.

Weather-Resistant Synthetic Leather Construction

One of the biggest advantages of the Highwayman series is its material. Constructed from Saddlemen’s high-tech synthetic leather, these bags offer the rich look and feel of genuine leather with none of the high-maintenance drawbacks. This advanced material is UV-resistant and water-repellent, meaning it won’t fade, crack, or rot when exposed to the sun and rain. Unlike real leather which requires constant conditioning, these bags can be cleaned with a simple damp cloth, staying showroom-sharp for years of heavy use.

Structural Integrity: Shape-Retention Technology

There is nothing worse than saddlebags that sag and lose their form over time. Saddlemen has addressed this by incorporating internal plastic reinforcements and sturdy back panels into the Highwayman Slant bags. This “shape-retention” design ensures that the bags look great whether they are stuffed to capacity or completely empty. The heavy-duty 1-inch wide straps feature chrome-plated buckles that hide modern, easy-to-use quick-release buckles underneath, giving you the classic aesthetic with the convenience of instant access.

Versatile Throw-Over Mounting System

Installation is a breeze thanks to the adjustable throw-over yoke. This system allows the bags to be draped over the rear fender or under the passenger seat, making them compatible with a vast range of motorcycles. The yoke is adjustable to account for different fender widths, ensuring a snug fit. While these are designed as “throw-over” bags, they also include integrated tie-down points to secure them to saddlebag supports for a more permanent and stable mounting solution.

Fitment & Sizing Options

The Saddlemen Highwayman Slant Saddlebags are available in multiple sizes to fit everything from small displacement cruisers to large touring machines. They are a popular choice for:

• Harley-Davidson: Sportster, Dyna, and Softail models.
• Honda: Shadow, Rebel, and VTX series.
• Yamaha: V-Star, Bolt, and Virago models.
• Kawasaki: Vulcan 500, 650, 800, and 900.
• Suzuki: Boulevard and Intruder series.

Why Choose Saddlemen?

Saddlemen is a leader in the industry, known for innovation in both motorcycle seats and luggage. By choosing the Highwayman series, you are benefiting from decades of rider-focused engineering. These bags feature genuine chrome hardware and a lockable zipper system (locks sold separately) for added security. The interior is spacious and easy to organize, making these bags the perfect companion for the rider who needs extra space without the bulk of a hard-shell case.

Maintenance & Safety Insights

To ensure the longevity of your bags and the safety of your ride, we highly recommend using saddlebag supports (sold separately). These metal brackets prevent the bags from coming into contact with the rear wheel or the hot exhaust pipes. Always ensure that the bags are balanced evenly and that all straps are tightly secured before heading out on the road.
