Thank you at Biltwell, your products are really great. Those bags are perfect.
Installed Exfil-18's on my Harley 48 with OEM mounting brackets. They look really good IMO, are very functional and so much better than having to wear a backpack. The zippers, materials and the build seem very sturdy. I like the features: Extra pockets, molly straps, double zippers, portable. I keep a toolkit, a tire repair kit, some rags, the rain covers and a fuel bottle in them and there is still a ton of room for daily stuff or longer trips. They don't get in the way when I two up. I Like them!
I installed these a couple weeks ago. These bags are well constructed and seem like they’ll retain their shape.
I have an 08 Honda Shadow. I could use bigger bags (these don’t hold a ton of groceries), but they have good pipe clearance. I had a pair of bags that melted on my pipes about a year ago. These are much better.
Perfect mid sized bags. Fit 90% of my camping gear no problem! As all the other biltwell luggage I use, very well made with high quality material. Wouldn't use another bag!
Fit like a glove and look decent on the bike.

Love these bags so far. Form follows function and Biltwell nailed it. Sturdy design from the fabric to the zippers and Velcro. I use these as commuter bags and they’re perfect for a seamless on-the-go setup.
These look great on a 48. I have the saddlebag guards as well and I was able to fit the yoke under the factory solo seat. Also got the exfil-11, very cool.
I put these on my 2002 883R sportster using the OEM saddle bag brackets and didn't have to relocate the then signals. I absolutely love these bags. The quality is top notch. Zippers are firm and smooth. I plan on using these on my Honda Africa Twin as well. The MOLLE webbing basically makes it a modular bag and can adapt it to any pannier rack or saddle bag brackets. It's always a no brainier buying Biltwell products. I got these the night before I left for the Biltwell 100 so that lit the fire for the event! I have no issues giving Biltwell my money.
Awesome product from an awesome company that stands behind their products! Bags are top notch. Look and feel great.
These Biltwell Exfil-18 bags fit my 2020 FXLRS perfect though I would recommend getting some saddlebag brackets. They are rad throw over bags if you are needing bags for a day trip or just small everyday bags. There are several pockets (1 main and 3 small)! The zippers are pretty sturdy.
They also came with rain covers.
The material seems to be pretty durable.

Other than the fact that I had to get half-inch longer screws for the front mount (rear ones worked great) on my 2015 dyna, they work great and are so easy to install, just removed the short ones I had (without even taking the sissy bar off) and replacing them with longer screws.
I haven’t installed the kit yet but so far the bags I ordered and the support seem to be really high quality and feel very durable. Looking forward to the ride from Oregon to the Arizona.
I haven’t installed the kit yet but like the rest of my order, it seems to be durable and good quality.
These bags are awesome. They're spacious, durable and come with rain covers to keep your sh*t dry. Option of replacing one bag if you have a little accident is rad too!
Great sturdy bags. I bought them because I already have the back pack and it’s great as well. Biltwell makes quality luggage. I do wish they would mention the saddle bag brackets they sell are not biltwell’s but rather drag specialties.
Standard support kit, not made by biltwell. They are drag specialties. They seem fine.
I doubt there is a better set of throw overs than these on the market
awesome
Well made, great storage, they really thought of everything.
Amazing quality!
awesome
This bag fits perfectly on the Indian FTR luggage support. Excellent build quality and versatility with the molle. I added a fuel bottle carrier and it's perfect.
A perfect fit on my 2020 fxlrs, supporting EXFIL 36’s.
Bought this for my 2020 FXBB because I needed bags for a trip and they were the exact size that I needed. Not too large but it had enough space for all the things I needed. The zippers feel well made and the bag was sturdy enough to hold all the tools I had without the stitching ripping. Great bags.
I have many biltwell bags and these are made as solid as all of the others. Can’t go wrong with any of them.
Had a few questions and they were answered in no time at all. Fits great on my 2009 Dyna. I ordered some support brackets from drag specialties and the whole set up is exactly what I wanted.
I put these on my SR400 and they have been excellent! Everything about these bags is well thought out and high-quality. The large lip over the main zipper is a great design.
Finding and fitting universal saddlebag mounts for the Indian Scout Bobber was a nightmare, but the bags themselves are fantastic. The aftermarket option made by Indian costs around the same price and only offers one bag with half the storage as one of the Exfil bags. Easy choice.
