3 questions, will these fit on my scooter, can I carry small size grocery bags in them and is it absolutely necessary to have the mounting brackets?

1. Will they fit? The bags are a universal design that are designed to be thrown over the rear fender and just hang there. If your scooter has the rear fender space then they will fit. I mounted mine under my rear passenger seat so that they don't slide off. Just FYI. 2. Can you carry groceries? Yes. They can hold about the size of a half helmet. As long as the groceries are not too heavy, you shouldn't have a problem. 3. Mounting brackets? The bags are semi hard backed which means they can fold in and contact the rear tire. The brackets prevent that. If your rear fender covers a lot of your rear tire then you don't have to worry about the folding because the fender will keep them stable. Brackets are not mandatory just recommended for safety.

I can't answer your scooter question, but I can tell you that the large size of these saddle bags can absolutely carry small grocery bags, and I fit them on my motorcycle without mounting brackets. There is a leather strap that connects ont bag to the other (with heavy duty velcro). I simply put this strap under my seat (I had to cut a smal hole in it but you may or may not) and it held the bags there for years.

1... Anything will fit anything but may require a little afterwork. Would depend on if the scooter has a back seat as that is how these bags connect is via a strap that goes under the back seat.2. They will easily fit a small grocery bag in each one if you get the large or jumbo size.. I could get a Gallon of milk and another small bag of grocery items in one of mine.3. It is not absolutely necessary but they do recommend. I think the brackets would require some work to make them fit a scooter so I would say no to the brackets.

1. As long as your scooter is bigger than the bags it shoul fit. 2. Depends on what grocery store you go to. Whole foods probably not. Publix should be no problem. 3. I recommend some kind of bracket to keep them off your tire.

I don't know what you have for a scooter, but the bags connecting straps have quite abit of adjustment. They can fit a small grocery bag in each side, but not much more. You don't need the bracket to mount them, but will need to get a little creative with mounting they so they don't touch the tire.

wow...amazon just deleted my answer. I said to use the bags for whatever you want to use them for. Put 'em on your head if you want. I had them on my motorcycle. That wasnt the problem, the problem was when I went to unsnap the two smaller pockets for the first time, they ripped right off. I sewed the middle of the strap to fit across the rear fender and i also put a stiff magazine to give some support on bottom of bags.

Absolutely; this thing is meant for a full size motorcycle, and as such will accommodate any of the scooter family members with ease; love it!!

I don't know your specific bike. You should need nothing else to mount them to your bike. I personally would recommend getting mounting brackets. This would assure bags and bike be protected from rubbing against each other.

Won't be an exact answer but I can give you my impressions. I attached this to a 2008 Honda Odyssey for a 6000 mile round trip. The mounting brackets seem as though they would fit a large number of crossbars on a roof rack. Not specific to any certain model. It mounted easily and worked great. It is on the smaller side of any I have seen in person. Was just the amount of room we needed though. I think it would look/fit fine on smaller vehicles. It looked slightly small on the Odyssey, which is not a large vehicle. It attaches to the crossbar with U-bolts that were plenty wide for my crossbars.

Hi, The price includes the bags, a set of lock tumblers (do not buy them as separate items, like I did!). It does not include the mounting brackets that attach to each side of of the bike, or a rear top rack or mount...It is just the two Vario side cases and the lock tumblers for them. They are pricey but I like how slim they are and they integrate nicely with the bike (2012 G650GS)...happy with them. As for fitting an earlier model of the 650 single, I am not certain, but I think they will fit. cheers, m.

They are "throw over" bags. Each bag has a flap which mates with the other via velcro and an additional support strap. I had mine attached together under the seat, no issues with them staying secured. They rested against my shocks so I didn't need any support brackets(1983 Yamaha xj750 Maxim). Hope this helps

You can make them fit, BUT.......... I would NOT put these on a scooter, I was so disappointed, I ended up throwing mine away AVOID THESE, THEY ARE SMALL, THEY ARE CHEAP MADE, THE LIGHT WIRES ARE IN THE WAY & GET RIPPED OUT, THE LOCKS ARE CHEAP TOO

I don't know what kind of scooter or were on the scooter I have mine on the top tube of the bike frame and it's about 2-3 ins thick. With that being said it holds my note 3 with a ballistic case on it with no issues this includes street riding and dirt and trail riding. It's sturdy and I've done a few jumps and help the phone in place while using the gps map and headphones. Hope this helps you out.

I have a 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 and with the bat wing fairing they did not look big enough nor would they hold enough for me to really even go to the grocery storeThey are universal so you have to drill the mounting holes for your bike. Keep in mind once you do they are no longer returnable to the seller they are to small for my scoot and it is not quite as wide as the 2008 Yamy 1100 V star Also you will most likely have to remove your rear blinkers and remount them some place else

I am sure you could make it fit, it is more designed for a scooter than for a motorcycle. But be advised, it only comes with a mounting plate w/hardware to mount that plate flush to the bottom of case. I attached it directly to my existing luggage rack so it worked fine, but if you don't have a luggage rack on your scooter, you would need some kind of mounting frame to attach it.

Depending on what your attaching it too. There is 2 brackets that come in box. Example : I only used the 4 oblong plates. Had to measure an drill my own holes. To custom fit on my scooter. So on a motorcycle u may use the spring mount to bolt on or rear turn signal mounts or seat mounts or custom fit an attach to rear carrier? Basically costom fit to your bike. FYI : use plates inside and under ( sandwich ) box in place with bolts an rubber rings. Or u run the risk of cracking , breaking, wobblie box. Plus this will help support rider on back rest. Hope this helps.

Not too sure but they would probably look good if you went on Viking bags website and ordered the mounting brackets.

The bag comes with a unique clip attachment that has a wide range of bar diameters it will fit. It's a bit annoying to mount this but once on makes putting the actual bag on/off a breeze. I'd recommend something a little tacky to wrap around the handlebar as it tends to slip a bit otherwise. P.S. the fit is based on the bar tube diameter, not its length...hope this helps.

They do not come with the brackets, they are sold separately. In most cases, most bikes have the saddle bag mounts Thanks Ben

Yes if you bolt it to a scooter rack it will take less than a half hour. I put mine on a dirt bike rack and also made a custom mount for a Honda Goldwing. They bolt up easily as the two plates clamp the rack between them.

This one is made for a scooter or motorcycle so long as you have a luggage rack to mount it to. Super easy to install. If this is for a bike as in bicycle then you will want to order a Carver Surf Rack specifically for a bicycle.
