Q:
How many clubs fit into the golf bag?
A:
The Ironhorse Caddybag is designed to hold 14 golf clubs,
7 clubs per side, the maximum allowed by U.S.G.A. rules.
Q:
Can I use my regular saddlebags while transporting the Caddybag
on my motorcycle?
A:
Yes! The Caddybag is designed as a golf bag that splits
into two halves carried on either side of your motorcycle
outside the saddlebags. It easily adjusts to fit all sizes
of saddlebags and cruiser-style bikes. Please visit our
Specs and Photos
pages for details.
Q:
Can I ride my motorcycle without the travel covers on the
Caddybag?
A:
Yes. The travel covers are an optional accessory and generally
only need to be used in rainy or poor weather. Even at posted
highway speeds and with the travel covers off, there isn't
enough wind resistance to pull the golf clubs out of the
Caddybag.
Please
see our Accessories
page for more information.
Q: How does the bag come off the bike?
A:
There are two quick release pins for each half of the Caddybag.
It takes less than a minute to remove both halves, which
then fit together to form the bag.
Q: How does the golf bag assemble
into one unit once it's off the bike?
A:
Two straps hold the bag halves together. These straps attach
at the top and bottom of the bag. Please see our Specs
page.
Q:
Where would I put my golf balls and other golf accessories?
A:
The Caddybag is available with an optional three-pocket
accessory that attaches onto the assembled golf bag. You
can carry sleeves of balls, an assortment of tees and markers,
your wallet, keys, and lightweight clothing.

our Accessories
page for photos and details.
Q:
Does the foot peg still operate normally?
A:
Yes, the Caddybag foot peg fits a stock motorcycle foot
peg mount. The Caddybag foot peg is interchangeable with
the stock foot peg and extends to whatever length is required
to bypass the saddlebags. More details are available on
our Specs page.
Q:
Do I need a back rest to make the unit work?
A:
Yes, currently a back rest is required. However, we are
actively reviewing the ability to connect the system beneath
the rear carrying bag of a touring cruiser, in which case
a back rest would not be required. Further details will
be posted to our website as they become available.
When
separated into two halves, the Caddybag is designed to clip
onto the foot peg and back rest of your bike. A U-shaped
bracket mounts between the back rest.
Q: Can I carry a passenger while the Caddybag is attached
to my bike?
A:
Definitely! The modified foot peg does not affect passenger
ride-ability. In fact, because of the Caddybag foot peg's
increased length, there is even more space for your passenger's
feet.
Q:
Does the system affect bike-handling and maneuverability
when the Caddybag is mounted on the motorcycle?
A:
No, not in the least. The Caddybag has been road-tested
over 15,000 miles, including during a two-week, 4200-mile
bike trip with speeds of up to 100 miles per hour and through
steep and winding roads with no effect on handling.
Q:
Can you carry the assembled golf bag on your back?
A:
The Caddybag is not designed for use as a carry bag for
the duration of your golf game. There are handles on each
half that can be used to carry the assembled bag from the
motorcycle to either a pull cart or power cart. However,
if you wish, you could attach a strap to the handles and
the bottom bracket, creating an over-the-shoulder carry
option.
Q:
Does the golf bag have carry straps?
A:
No. Carry straps are not provided with the Ironhorse Caddybag.
However, the handles and the bottom bracket combine as appropriate
anchor points for a strap of any kind.
Q: How heavy is the bag?
A:
Without golf clubs inserted, the Caddybag weighs about 15
pounds. With 14 clubs, the unit weighs appromixately 30
pounds.
Q:
How about chroming?
A:
Chroming is done to the back rest U-bracket only. The U-bracket
remains on the bike at all times.
Q: Does the Caddybag have other uses?
A:
Yes, please visit our Photos
page to see how easily the Ironhorse Caddybag can accommodate
various types of fishing rods and fly rod tubes. Simply
remove the inserts for the golf clubs and insert your favorite
gear. Smaller rifle carrying cases also fit into the Caddybag.
The size of the Caddybag opening is 6" wide, 3"
across, and 34" long. The Caddybag can accommodate
all types of sporting and games equipment.
