Hello everyone,
I'm both new to this page and to motorcycles in general. The Honda Rebel is my first and I'm in love. I want this to essentially be my daily driver and need storage options. I've been looking at the OEM Nylon saddlebags but there aren't many reviews or even pictures of them. Anyone that has them, are there any kind of compartments interior or even slots/pouches on the exterior or is it just one big bag? If not compartments, does anyone have any suggestions that are similar in style but has compartmentalization?
I have the OEM Rebel bags from Honda Powersports: 1 Saddlebag Bracket, Right; 1 Saddlebag Bracket, Left; 1 Saddlebag, Left (14L); and 1 Saddlebag, Right (10L). I'm very happy with them: easy on, easy off with handles for carrying when off-bike, don't take much room but expand when needed. No compartments inside. I got mine during the pandemic and there was a hugh wait time.
