Viking Bags, a Los Angeles-based manufacturer of motorcycle luggage and aftermarket parts, has secured a US patent for its Quick-Mount Saddlebag System. The system allows riders to remove their motorcycle saddlebags in seconds without tools. This solves a long-standing problem for motorcyclists: the theft of luggage from bikes parked in public spaces.
For years, riders faced a frustrating choice between convenience and security. Throw-over bags were easy to take off, but they could shift while riding. Hard mounts were sturdy, but they could not be removed without tools. Viking Bags has solved this problem with its patented Quick-Mount System. The system begins with a set of model-specific side racks or brackets that bolt onto the motorcycle. Once installed, the bag slides onto the carrier and locks into place. The bag is as secure as any hard-mount system with no wobble, vibration, or risk of shifting. Yet, by accessing a simple release mechanism, often a knob or latch located inside the bag, the entire saddlebag detaches from the mounting bracket in seconds.
This design gives riders a clear path to protect their gear. By taking the bags inside when parked at a job site, a hotel, or a public garage, the contents stay safe. The bike also has a clean, sleek look, with only the small mounting brackets visible.
The Quick-Mount System is available across select hard-shell saddlebag models in the motorcycle saddlebags collection, including the 28L Panzer Medium Hard Mount Motorcycle Saddlebags (US Patent D1065015S). Each purchase includes the necessary side racks or mounting brackets, ensuring a precise fit for major brands such as Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, and Indian. Beyond the quick-mount line, the company offers a full range of motorcycle luggage, including sissy bar bags, tank bags, an ADV touring series, handlebars, fairings, crash bars, and seats.
