Under-Utilized Bags: Hard Bags for Vegas & Kingpin
Here is a real-world look at the bags. These were on a great-looking Kingpin at the American Victory Rally.
One of the most common complaints in Victory circles is that the saddlebags for the Kingpin are not large enough. Or that they don’t seal correctly.

But what is all-too-commonly overlooked is that there is an excellent alternative to the leather-covered saddlebags that are standard on the Kingpin Tour and the old Kingpin Deluxe package.

These alternative bags are the Hardbag Saddlebags For Vegas/Kingpin, which are item number 2876678 from Pure Victory Gear. These bags are available from your Victory dealer, or 24/7 from the Pure Victory Gear website.

These Hardbags are roomier than the leather-covered bags because they are a full bucket – there are no bump-outs or indents to allow for the mounting framework as there are on the leather-covered bags.

Plus, while the Hardbags might not be as deep top-to-bottom as some riders would like (due to the stacked pipes on the right sides of the bikes), the Hardbags extend higher upward with their domed lids.

More room, no indents in the usable space, a lid that truly covers the bucket from the top, and a clean, black style with a Victory nameplate on the silver side badge.

For the record, here is the “sell” copy that appears on the Pure website:

“These roomy lockable saddlebags will expand the carrying capacity of your Vegas or Kingpin tremendously. Made of durable ABS plastic that's ready to paint to match your ride. Each bag measures 9.5" x 22" x 12”. You'll also need the Hardbag Saddlebag brackets (#2876679) for mounting.”

If your B.S. detector is tingling, good on ya. It’s your job as a consumer to be skeptical. But believe it, that description is legit. Plus, these Hardbags fit every Vegas and Kingpin model, including the Low models and the Ness models.

Looking for a really strong alternative for Vegas and Kingpin saddlebags? Look no further than the Hardbag Saddlebags.
