motorcycle saddlebags honda How can I take the saddlebags off my motorcycle?
I just bought a 2001 Honda Shadow VLX600. It came with saddlebags and would like to take them off until I need them. How can I get them off?
The VLX does not come with standard saddlebags. How you take the saddlebags off depends on what they are and how they are mounted. Are they soft bags (floppy real or fake leather) or are they hard bags (hard plastic, fiberglass, or metal)?

2010 Honda VFR1200F Motorcycle Review
Motorcycle question??
I have a 1979 Honda CB705L. I just bought it, and I was wondering if the seat could open up to a compartment where you can put tools and such. If so, how? If not, how then can you please explain how you put saddlebags on a bike? Thanks!
Like one of your answers said you can look for hinges along one side of the seat underneath on the other side should be a latch to release the seat. Usually that's just for access to your battery and wiring if I remember right. As for saddle bags they joined together with a flat piece of leather that will go in between the seat and fender.......now that you figured out how to open the seat! If you have a sissy bar on the bike you can get storage with a sissy bar bag or a tool bag hanging from your handlebars or front forks. Just go to any part supply website or bike shop and look around for what will work. To do it from home I use J & P cycle www.jpcycles.com but you look on any aftermarket site and you'll be pleased with the choises.
