Hard Mount Saddlebags & Throw-Over Motorcycle Saddlebags

Hard Mount Saddlebags & Throw-Over Motorcycle Saddlebags

Among the many other types of the saddlebags, there are also the hard mounted saddlebags and the throw over motorcycle saddle bags. Let’s see what the differences in each of them are and what type would suit us.


Hard mount saddlebags are durable and secure saddlebags. These motorcycle bags get framed in the motorcycle such that they appear to be the part of the motorcycle. There is an option to choose the hard or the soft leather in the saddlebags. Hard leather should be preferred in case of the extra protection.


The other type, the throw over motorcycle saddle bags are used when the riders do not want to make more changes in the motorcycle like drilling holes and installing the mounting hardware and other stuff. These are just tied with the help of a string and held on to the bike. These are also preferred by some because they can be removed easily. Being able to be removed easily they provide the least protection and security.


You should choose wisely the type of saddlebag taking into consideration all the things.
