Biltwell EXFIL - 18 Saddlebags - Black
The EXFIL-18’s visual similarity to their decade old EXFIL-7 design is no accident. This new set of saddlebags handles business with the same smart design and rugged construction as every bag in the moto luggage arsenal. As its name implies, each EXFIL-18 saddlebag holds three six-packs of 12-ounce cans. Like the EXFIL-36, EXFIL-18 saddlebags are a universal fit system that hangs under the seat and over the rear fender on an easy-to-install yoke with Velcro adjustment.
EXFIL-18 saddlebags are just the right size for daily use. UV-treated to last thousands of hours in the harsh sun and built with mil-spec quality materials. Of course they come with waterproof covers and the bright orange interior that makes finding your stuff easier. These bags are universal-fit, but keep in mind you’ll need to add some generic saddlebag mounts for your particular bike to keep the bags away from your rear wheel. The compact size (13.5” wide by 8.75” tall x 7.5” deep) fits on most bikes without relocating the turn signals, but make sure to measure your motorcycle first! Installation note: Motorcycle exhaust is super hot! If your exhaust exits directly into or under these bags, even though the bottoms are reinforced with heat-resistant material, there is a chance it can scorch the bag or melt the contents inside. Rain covers melt or catch fire easier than the ballistic nylon due to the rubber coating that makes them waterproof, so please keep that in mind. Also, if you install the bags empty, check them again after you’ve loaded them with gear. You may need to adjust the yoke or other parts of your mounting procedure to keep the bags away from exhaust heat. It’s a good idea to check all luggage every time you stop, just to make sure things haven’t shifted while you were riding.
