Im on my second expandable bag on my Viper 137. the seam on the original one I bought was coming apart in the rear of the bag, lucky for me I caught it before any tools got lost. the bag had over 6000 miles on it so I bought another just for the simple fact that it holds alot of stuff for a decent price. I believe the second one was around 119.00 shipped to my door. Not bad for the abuse it takes back there banging around.

I paid $115 for the Semi-Rigid bag from my Yamaha dealer. Thought it was a solid deal.

Question about the

I used this same set up on my Viper.

I bought a set of saddle bags for my XTX for trips to canada. I haven’t riveted the clips/barrel pieces on the tunnel. Do you have a pic of where you put yours? I’m worried there going to be to far forward my feet will hit them.

The large bag looks like it will end up on the tail lamp bracket on a the RTX. Large fits the 137 LTX nicely.

See below for photos of the XL semi rigid bag on a 137 for those who are curious how it fits size wise. The straps are an optional mounting option, the other is to drill two holes in the tunnel for a quick release located inside the bag. Not sure which method I intend to use yet...

Bag looks good. I don't believe I ever got straps with my Medium bag. I installed using the 1/4 turn quick release seems to work wonderful. As long as I don't lose the bag riding down the trail.

I believe those rear straps mount in the pre drilled holes in the bumper not the running boards as shown in picture

I dont have them mounted to the running board, they were just pulled out of the way and laying there loose to be out of the way. Also, if I recall correctly, the install instructions say to cut them off if you plan to use the quick disconect mounting option. Still not sure which way I plan to go. Not a fan of drilling if I dont have to. Havent had a chance to really look it over yet.

How did you get that to fit? I purchased one and can’t get it to fit against the tank and seat. This is as close as it gets to the tank/seat.

I notice you have a small wire tucking into your bumper. I was wondering what it is for.

Did you remove the factory tool kit from behind the seat? It looks like it's still in place. You will have to remove it for proper fit.

I also needed to lift up on the seat and tank to get the front tab on my bag to slide under. Make sure and mount it tight to the seat or the seat release tab and screw will not be by the reinforced fabric and it will wear a hole in the bag.
