These are regular prices. Viking Bags runs frequent sales, so the price at checkout is often lower. Availability and prices can change, and a bag’s listing is always the final word on price and fitment.
1.2 How Mounting Style Changes the Price
- Throw-over ($124.99–$187.49 in this guide): a strap-on, non-permanent setup and the most affordable way to add storage.
- Quick-disconnect ($374.99–$587.49): goes on and off quickly and sits slightly farther from the bike than a fixed mount.
- Fixed mount ($269.99–$799.99): the tightest fit and the most integrated look, and the category with the biggest capacities.

Softail fitment depends on your exact model and year. Viking Bags separates 2018-and-later Softails (Street Bob, Fat Boy, Heritage, Slim, Standard, Deluxe, Breakout, Low Rider S and Low Rider ST, among others) from 2017-and-older models such as the Fat Boy FLSTF/I, Heritage FLSTC/I and Night Train. Pick the collection that matches your bike.
Before buying Softail saddlebags, confirm:
- Your exact model and production year.
- Whether the bags are throw-over, quick-disconnect or fixed mount.
- Whether turn-signal relocation is required. This is listed on each product page.
- That the bags clear your rear suspension and exhaust.

6. What Affects the Price of Motorcycle Saddlebags?
Four things move the price most:
- Storage capacity. Bigger bags cost more. Compare liters rather than exterior size. In this guide, sets under 20L sit near $125–$270, while 50L-plus sets reach $800.
- Mounting style. Throw-over is cheapest, while quick-disconnect and fixed-mount systems cost more because they are built around your bike.
- Construction. Hard-shell, painted, leather and leather-wrapped sets are priced differently. Leather-wrapped hard bags such as the Darkin and Baldur sit at the higher end.
- Model-specific fitment. A set made for your model year and rear-end layout costs more than a universal bag, but it fits correctly and usually needs no modification.
For a deeper walkthrough of choosing between styles, see how to choose the right motorcycle saddlebags for your bike.
6.1 Are More Expensive Motorcycle Saddlebags Worth It?
A higher price makes sense when you need more capacity, easy removal or a tighter fit. Ask yourself:
- How much do you carry? Plan your capacity with what to carry in your motorcycle saddlebags.
- Do you take the bags off often? If so, quick-disconnect is worth the extra cost.
- Do you want a clean, integrated look? Fixed mount fits closest to the bike.
Check what’s included, too. Viking Bags ships free mounting hardware with its bags, backs every product with a 1-year warranty, offers 45-day returns and ships orders within 48 hours.
