Toniq,
I have the ebel 500 ORM Saddlebags.
I have the leather version and they are good quality, but they are awfully large and wide.
I have trouble getting my hind leg up over the saddlebags when trying to saddle up for a ride.

Oddly enough, Kenny, when I go to the website (ACCESSORIES, STREET, Cruiser, Rebel 500 ABS SE, 2021 - 2022 | Honda Powersports) to see about the accessories I can purchase, the only option available is the synthetic nylon. I would like the option to have the leather but I just don't see them, unless I'm on the wrong site or am doing something wrong.
Toniq,
Here is a link from Ron Ayers for the Synthetic Leather Bags: Synthetic Leather Saddlebags
You will also need the the parts that hold the bags way from the wheels, etc.

I have usually made the stays because they are so expensive to purchase. The bags and stays came with the Rebel when I bought it used.
If they werent so expensive to ship I unload them.

I know when I was looking into them, it said the brackets were required for the nylon bags, which I was going to get. That's my problem with getting anything aftermarket, is not knowing if it needs the stays or brackets. I think I'm just going to get the brackets and nylon bags. I just really would've liked something with some compartmentalization.
Toniq,
My synthetic leather bags have no compartments. They are just huge contaainers. They do appear as if teyb are practically indestructable. Try Googling "Who makes Honda Saddlebags" and you may be able to find a lttle better price than Honda charges.
