Motorcycle Luggage

Load, Lock and You’re Good to Go with XLMOTO

Luggage space is always an issue when travelling by motorcycle. With carrying capacity at a premium, it’s a good idea to choose the best luggage available and ensure its secured to your bike. When it comes to practical packing, XLMOTO has everything you need, from motorcycle bags to motorcycle lock sets. You’ll find a lot to choose from, so let's take a closer look at the different types of motorcycle luggage.

Magnetic tank bags

Tank bags are super versatile. They are also a real bonus for carrying paperwork, electronic kit, or a sat nav. Yet not everyone wants a tank bag fixed in position or the carrying straps or tank cover you need to make them secure. Magnetic tank bags often have up to eight magnets with sleeves to protect paintwork. These types of motorcycle bags are available in a range of sizes. Better still, they are easy to remove when you leave the bike. As a result, tank bags make daily commutes easy. Moreover, a removable tank bag is a simple solution if your road trip includes an overnight ferry.

Motorcycle racks for hard luggage

Luggage space on a motorcycle is in short supply, so when choosing hard luggage, why not use its lid for extra carrying capacity? While it is possible to fit a rack on some pannier lids, the most common type of lid racks are those you can fit onto a top box. You will find top boxes fitted at the bike's rear behind the pillion seat. You can securely attach racks to the lid to carry extra gear. While these types of racks have a weight loading limit, they are ideal for carrying a kit bag or soft case. Some motorcycle lid racks are brand and model specific. Many though, offer a universal fitting. For this reason, always read the product description for fitting advice. What's more, use the drop-down menu to ensure a correct fit.

Hard luggage

Some riders prefer hard panniers and a top box to soft luggage as they provide a more stable platform for the pillion. You can also permanently fix hard panniers to the bike. Better still, you can secure your belongings inside using a motorcycle lock. If you lose the keys to your motorcycle lock, it's a significant hassle. Also, if you buy a used motorcycle with hard luggage, you'll want to be safe knowing there is only one key holder.

In both cases, fitting a new motorcycle lock set is the safe solution. XLMOTO has many options, from asingle motorcycle lock to multiple lock sets. These products allow you to fit new locks to your panniers and top box for added peace of mind. Whether you want hard or soft luggage or a new motorcycle lock set, XLMOTO has everything you need for carrying your gear safely and securely on your motorcycle.
