Nomad USA Motorcycle Saddlebags 16L Throw-Over Universal Cruiser Bags — Waterproof, Lockable

Nomad Motorcycle Saddlebags 16L are a pair of universal throw-over saddlebags made from premium synthetic leather with a molded liner, quick-access closures, and a numeric lock for organized rider storage.

These throw-over saddlebags are built to add convenient luggage space and a classic leather look to cruisers, touring bikes, and choppers without permanent hardware. Each side holds approximately 8 liters (16L total) and measures about 9.5" x 5" x 9.5", combining a structured interior and weather-resistant exterior materials to keep everyday items tidy while you ride. They mount with adjustable straps that thread over the rear seat or sissy bar, so installation is tool-free on most bikes with a passenger seat.

How much can I pack into these saddle bags?

With a combined capacity of about 16 liters (8L per side), the Nomad saddlebags are suited for daily essentials and short trips. The molded plastic liner helps maintain shape so contents don’t bunch or sag, and the rectangular footprint lets you stack items efficiently.

• Total capacity: ~16 liters (8L per bag)
• Typical contents: rain jacket, water bottle, phone, wallet, small tools
• Internal stability: plastic liner preserves shape when loaded
• External dimensions: ~9.5" L × 5" W × 9.5" H per bag

Will these fit my motorcycle and how do they attach?

These saddlebags are designed as a universal throw-over style that fits most cruisers, touring bikes, and choppers that have a rear passenger seat or sissy bar. Attachment uses adjustable mounting straps that loop under and around the seat or frame, eliminating the need for custom brackets on many popular models.

• Universal fit for many makes: Harley, Honda, Yamaha, Indian, Suzuki, BMW and more
• Requires a rear passenger seat or sissy bar for proper installation
• Adjustable straps for quick, tool-free mounting
• Compatible with bikes that have rocker arms or exposed frames

How do these saddlebags protect my items from weather and theft?

The exterior is crafted from high-quality synthetic leather that resists light moisture and road spray, while the internal plastic liner keeps the bag’s shape and prevents water pooling. Access is secured with quick-release buckles for fast retrieval, plus a numeric lock to deter casual tampering when you step away from the bike.

• Water-resistant synthetic leather exterior
• Molded plastic liner for structure and splash protection
• Quick-release buckles for fast access on the road
• Integrated numeric lock for added peace of mind

How does the design affect my bike’s look and riding comfort?

The clean black synthetic leather finish gives a timeless, refined appearance that suits both modern and vintage motorcycles. Because the bags are a low-profile throw-over design they maintain a close fit to the bike, minimizing wind catch and interference with passenger space when installed correctly.

• Classic black leather-style finish complements most bike styles
• Low-profile shape reduces bulk and aerodynamic drag
• Balanced weight distribution when evenly loaded on both sides
• Easy on/off for riders who switch between solo and two-up riding

Who is this for: Riders who want a clean, non-permanent luggage solution that blends classic leather styling with practical storage—ideal for commuters, weekend tourers, and cruiser or chopper owners who need quick-install saddlebags without modifying their bike. If you need more heavy-duty, lockable hard cases for long-distance touring, consider a rigid pannier system instead.
