A very useful review. I ride a 650 Interceptor and side luggage options are very limited due to the upswept silencers. But the Hepco and Becker C Bow frames offer a choice of side bags, that are secure and can quickly be removed. I've ordered the frames but haven't decided on which bags to fit. These look good and are small enough to fit the Interceptor. Thanks for the review.
Good critical useful review. Thanks. I just fitted some to my XSR today and the newer version has addressed these issues.. mounting racks were fine and bolts went in ok and they've improved the waterproof bag with commonly used roll-top and clip style. They look great and good qaulity. Thanks for the video... I should have looked before I bought them lol (but very happy with them). Ps... Today's date is Oct 2022
I ordered the cbow kit and some hepco and becker saddle bags for my ninja 400. I wonder if they will bump into anything during installation because i have a rear fender eliminator.
A couple of resons. 1- They're lighter and smaller. 2- The MT07 has very limited mounting points, that won't bare much weight. 3- There are not many choices for luggage on the MT07. 4- They fit well with the style/lines of the bike. 5- Boxes/cases are too heavy and big.

Glad you found it useful, and nice that they have addressed some of the issues 😀
LOL on the inner bag. Nice review! I might do one with my Shad side cases and tank bag. Too much time now we're on quarantine. =)
Yep, lots of time to do/watch reviews lol
Almost same as the Shad side cases. =)
Great review. Was going to buy these but I think I will go with the royster bags instead.
G'day and thanks , a great review .
Very good comprehensive review. Shame about the water proof bags and the straps over the pillion seat like you say need some velcro.
Yep, not quite as good as I was expecting :(
where are your turn signals? and how many smal potatoes can fit inside the bags?
Thanks for teh review!

good rev, did you try to put an helmet inside this bag?
Thank you.
No, you cannot fit a helmet in these bags.
You dont need the straps. It’s only a bonus for better feeling. But if you use the straps they have to fixed under the seat!!!
Would a 15" laptop fit in?
Why soft bags? And wouldnt soft bags risk vibrations and unstability especially in higher speeds?

How much were hose bags?
21,000 baht - about $650US, pretty expensive but heh this is Thailand
The strap over the pillion seat. =(
Yes a couple of things that let the bags and racks down :(
@@johnsy59 couldn't you put it under the seat,?
@@trailrider1980 no it doesn't fit and it doesn't bare the load correctly.
