Having a good quality motorcycle tool bag is a must for every bike rider and enthusiasts. Most of the time bikers wear tight leather jackets, chaps and jeans without spacious pockets to accommodate little items they need such as gloves, sunglasses, pens, cards, tool sets and first aid kits.
It would be uncomfortable for us to have a backpack while riding a bike although it isn’t wrong to carry one. Although, if you are riding with someone else, having an extra sack would be a burdensome to you and your partner. Luckily, there are several saddlebags, luggage sets and motorcycle tool bags to choose from in this day and age. They range from authentic leather finish to waterproof PVC/vinyl fabric. They are soft, durable and light enough not to bother your ride on the freeway.
Motorcycle tool bags come in many shapes and sizes that fit perfectly on different parts of the bike such as the fork, sissy bar or the saddle part. It is great to have your own style of bag although, you should check if the tool bag will complement the look and feel of your ride. In addition to its size, a motorcycle tool bag may have additional detail and design that can be custom-made for each customer.
Harley Davidson has a custom-made saddle bags and luggage sets which could run up to hundreds of dollars a piece. Obviously, if you shell out a significant sum to buy a Harley getting a custom fit motorcycle pouch is just a piece of cake. On the other hand, general bike users can check cheap and yet durable tool bag brands just like the Xelement Motorcycle tool bag.
This bag has a waterproof black finish PVC material with braided trim design on its flap. It has a box type design, light weight with Velcro flap closure for easy access to your tools and personal belongings. It has a general dimension of 9 ¾ in. x 4in x 4 ½ in and can fit on the fork, beneath the sissy bar or at the handle of your bike. It comes with a buckle-type of strap to hold the entire weight of the tool bag and mount it securely against strong winds.
What I like about this tool bag is its water-resistant feature that can withstand extreme weather condition (hot or cold climate). It may not be a great buy to leather bag fanatics because of the type of material finish but it’s a good alternative to those who are seeking for a good piece of functional motorcycle tool bag.
The size of the bag is also ideal for small frame bikes since it won’t look bulky and lousy-looking. However, Xelement should have replaced the buckle straps for mounting the bike with velcro straps or any more tough material. The straps used for this tool bag looks like it could snap at any moment, thus additional reinforcement might be needed to secure it tightly. It is currently available for $19.95 with additional S&H cost.
