Crash bar bags

[FatFreddy]

I was looking at these....
https://www.lomo.co.uk/acatalog/motorcy ... -bags.html
And can't decide if they'd be useful or look ridiculous.
As an aside, I saw someone wearing one of their "holster" bags strapped to his thigh. Now that DID look ridiculous.
Anyone here use crash bar bags? Have you found them useful?

I have those but they are the Givi ones (exactly the same design) i think they look cool!!!! when i go on a long trip i stuff dirty clothes in one side and spare inner tubes in the other, as they are then soft so in the event of a spill they will absorb some of the impact and not dig into the fairing, the straps look very tough, and i think the material is also very strong, and as im not keen on wearing a rucksack these are a good alternative.

PS avoid the leg holster bag unless you are looking for ridicule, a kicking or some business!!!!!!!!!! (if you know what i mean :lol......)

During any serious RTC the Police will see all the clothes strewn around the scene and begin looking for a second person


Yes I find them useful for bits like air pump, tyre repairs stuff,first aid kit etc

From a dynamic point of view they put the extra weight right where it is best placed.

Not a huge volume though, but seem sensibly priced for a motorcycle product.

Which reminds me of the bloke riding home from the butcher's shop when a car pulled out in front of him. He came round hearing a concerned voice say: "Well, the rider's all right, but the poor pillion passenger."

I have the Lomo bags on my Alp--very useful for spare tubes, water bottles and other sundries--nice and solid and waterproof --and in an off they give you a soft landing.--and they keep a bit of weather off your legs --and.............

Had a set for a birthday present but nor fitted them yet. Seem to have all the gear and no time to ride at the moment.

For a fraction of the price, I’ve adapted a couple of hiking boot bags with Velcro straps that hang nicely from my engine bars. I use then to carry stove, gas, cooking and eating utensils , coffee making stuff, small water bottles etc. Great for a lunchtime stop without having to rummage through your kit. Cost less than £20 a pair.

I know that feeling.
There is NEVER enough time to ride as much as we'd like to.
