Thrashin Supply 60L Quick Detach Sport Saddlebags — Honest First Impressions (~600 miles in)

I recently picked up the new Thrashin Supply 60L Quick Detach Sport Saddlebags and noticed there's almost no customer feedback out there yet, so I figured I'd share my thoughts for anyone on the fence.

I've had them installed for about a week and put roughly 600 miles on the bike since.

Pros

Storage space is the headline feature: 40L by default, expanding to 60L when you need it. The bags and mounting hardware feel genuinely premium, and the included rain covers are a nice touch. Aesthetically, they look great on the bike. They're a bit more squared-off and sit slightly higher than traditional similar bags, such as LeatherPros, which I prefer. They're also universal across Dynas, M8 Softails, and FXRs (FXR owners will need additional mount hardware). Most importantly, they're rock solid with zero rattling, which was a constant annoyance with my OEM bags.

Cons

The quick-detach mechanism is a little fiddly to work, though this may partly be my installation and it's a non-issue for me since I plan to leave them on the bike almost permanently. One actual hiccup: the kit includes longer fender strut bolts to accommodate a quick-detach sissy bar, but they were still too short for my setup. I ended up reusing the bolts from my OEM bag and sissy bar install. The leather lid zipper also requires a bit of patience to line up and close, but that's a minor nitpick.

Price

At $799.99 they're not cheap, but they're in line with comparable bags at this price point and feel every bit worth the money based on build quality alone.

Install

Super easy, about 15-30 minutes with basic hand tools. Thrashin has a solid install video that walks you through it.

Overall

Highly recommend if you want a sporty, high-capacity bag and can find them in stock. If you own a set, drop your thoughts in the comments. The more info potential buyers have, the better.

I have someone who wants to trade this bassani road rage for some detachable saddlebags (that I plan to replace eventually anyways). My concern is the scuff on the head pipe, and it’s a little worn. Other than that, it seems like a no brainer and nothing a decent cerakote applicator couldn’t fix up.

Thoughts?? Seem worth it? My bags are some leather OEM quick detach bags. Plan to replace them with some leather pros or equal sooner than later. Bike currently has stock headers and some slip ons.
