Abstract: A pair of saddlebags for a motorcycle or like vehicle comprising a pair of housings joined by a plurality of flexible straps which straddle the vehicle and suspend the housings on opposite sides thereof. Each housing has associated therewith a compartment formed by a protective cover within which buckles are situated to adjustably secure the ends of the strap originating from the opposing housing. Additional straps are adjustably secured to the housings within the compartments and are removably engagable at their ends with an adaptor on the vehicle frame. A mounting means on the vehicle seat mates with the straps to further secure the saddlebags. A pair of handles are included with each housing through which the housings may be carried either individually or in combination.
