Anyone used these saddlebags on a Honda NC700x? Will the straps interfere with fueling the bike (fuel cap under passenger seat)?

Hey I don't ride a NC700x but I ride an 08 Yamaha FZ6 and it does fine with my exhaust pipe being right next to the bags because it comes under the seat. So my bags somewhat sit on the pipes. But looking at a picture of your bike I know that your set up would be more preferable. I would give it an eye ball measurements that if you have at least a foot 1/2 or so between the bottom of your back seat to the exhaust then you should be good and like I said my bags sit touching the exhaust and I've had yet to have an issues. Also I have an extra set of these bags in gray with all accessories I'm thinking about getting rid of because I order one set but got one as a gift. If interested rodney4hk@yahoo.com. I love these bags the only thing for my Fz6 my turn signal lights are slightly in the way for if I wanted to open the zipper on the bottom for more space and that may be the case with your bike as well as far as the exhaust being in your way if you needed to make extra space in your bags. I think they work great being a college student it really helps me going shopping since I don't have a car.

Giancarlo, These are very universal and adjustable bags. They are designed to fit a large variety of saddles and mounts. I bought them for Tiger 800XC on which I installed SW-MOTECH mount kit. They fit just fine. These are nice bags for this price. Love them!

Leather straps fit around my daughter's townie bike with no problems :) good luck!

I have a Subaru Crosstrek... I too was concerned about the side air bags. My solution was to NOT attach the upper straps around the BACK of the seat... but instead to leave them snapped and NOT used to tie-down the sheepskins to the seat back.

Yes, to alleviate this, make sure seat post is free of grease & dust. It also depends on how much weight you have in the back. I've mastered giving it a nudge to put it back in alignment while riding...A minor inconvenience on a less than 50 mile ride. If you're going to be planning and extended trip I'd suggest a fixed rack. I bought the Topeak 29'er rack which also accommodates the MTX trunk bag.

you will need saddlebag supports to hold the bags away from the back wheel ( not sure if your dealer would have them. you can order some for different bikes not sure about triumph. ) you can also adapt some for a different bike and make them fit

i dont know, but they attach with 2 velcro straps across the top, which i ran under the seat and luggage racks on my ctx. they also come with 2 straps each to tie to the tie down chocks on the sides. but my best guess would be yeah, they seem very easy to mount on just about any type of bike!

I do not believe so because the mufflers on that bike angle up it would overheat if not actually touch the bag. If you aren't riding with passenger I would recommend the Nelson Riggs cl 1040 tall center bag

I'm afraid I am not familiar with that bike. The straps that came with the bags were pretty generic and hook to the frame on my bike, but they could also hook to the passenger foot pegs as well. The ends of the straps are just loops. You also have to have enough room on the seat for both of the wide carrier straps also. My seat was not quite big enough so I wound up just sitting on part of the strap. That didn't bother me but you may not like it. I wish I could tell you yes or no but I'm just sure.

I have a Bonneville and have had a passenger ride just fine. You may want to pad the straps that cross the top of the seat.

I haven't had this problem. The plastic that wraps around the seat post is similar or identical to those straps you see on good bike racks that sit on the trunks of cars. If you are concerned about wear on the seat post, you could easily put in a thin gasket or even a bit of cloth. But when I've tightened the strap snugly, I've had no problems. This is a very simple, effective, cool device.

Bobzilla. I am not totally sure about your bike. But, I ordered these bags for my Yamaha vstar250,modified them a little bit and they worked fine. This past weekend I bought a new Honda shadow Aero 750 and with adjustments I had already made they fit fine.I just looked at some pics of your bike and I think with a little adjusting they might be good for you. but again, I cant say for sure. If you want to give me an email address I can send you some pics and some you how they look on my bike. Greg

Don't know your specific answer but, as long waisted rider I no longer use the straps as too tight. padded shorts work great however.

The velcro straps on each bag are 12 inches long, and completely covered in velcro. On my bike I have them overlapped by 5 inches. which gives me 19 inches between the two saddlebags. I believe that you could reduce the overlap to 3 inches, and it would still be strong enough. Anything less, they might pull apart.

Not for my comfort level. I bought some of that reflective heat shield foil tape and wrapped it around some rock wool to create a little fire-proof insulated pad that I taped to the bag's heat shield. That would rest right against the exhaust heat shield and kept the bag protected. This was on a DR650 which had similar exhaust placement. Those bags didn't hold up to the beating I delivered crossing wisconsin on ATV trails either. They only lasted one trip (1400 hard miles). Could last years if you were very gentle.

They should. They are "universal". Anything with side racks will give you a lot of mounting points for the actual bags, and the Velcro straps that run on top of the rear seat are variable in length so you can adjust it however you need. There's a ton of flexibility with these bags. I've seen something with a G650GS that had these bags as well.
