Q: How many clubs fit into the golf bag?

A: The Ironhorse Caddybag (IHCB) is designed to hold 14 golf clubs, 7 clubs per side, the maximum allowed by USGA 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 generally only needed in rainy or poor weather—or if you just like the look of them. 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 or even to pull the head covers off your woods.

Q: How does the bag come off the bike?

A: There are two quick release pins for each half of the IHCB. It takes less than a minute to remove both halves, which then quickly fit together to form the bag.

Q: How does the golf bag assemble into one unit once it's off the bike?

A: Four quick-connect clips hold the bag halves together. These straps attach at the top and bottom of the bag. Please see our Specs page for details and also to view an Ironhorse Caddybag How-To video. You can also view the video on YouTube.

Q: Where would I put my golf balls and other golf accessories?

A: Once the Ironhorse Caddybag is clipped together, it is a regular golf bag and has assorted pockets for holding balls, tees, markers, wallet, keys, and clothing.

Q: Does the foot peg still operate normally?

A: Yes, the IHCB foot peg fits a stock motorcycle foot peg mount. The Caddybag foot peg is interchangeable with the stock foot peg. When the bag is not in use, only an appealing, chromed small floorboard over the original foot peg remains. A bar can be fitted to this mount to extend to whatever length is required to bypass your saddlebags. More details are available on our Specs and Photos pages.

Q: Do I need a backrest to make the unit work?

A: Not necessarily. What you do need is a top mounting position strong enough to support something of the same weight as a backrest. If you have a backrest, then the top brackets mount easily to the supports of the backrest. We are also working to provide an additional system for mounting beneath the rear carrying bag of a touring cruiser, in which case a backrest 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 backrest of your bike. The system allows you to attach a single side of the Caddybag if you wish. You don’t have to attach both sides. This function is useful if you are transporting a rifle or fly-rod, or baseball bats—or whatever else you can think of!

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 and foot comfort for your passenger.

Q: Does the system affect bike-handling and maneuverability when the Caddybag is mounted on the motorcycle?

A: No, not in the least.

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. The IHCB does have a single strap and D-ring attachments for the strap to function as an over-the-shoulder carry option. However, the single strap was designed for carrying the bag from the parked bike to the Pro Shop or driving range or shooting range. The strap mechanism is functional enough that the Caddybag could be used as a carry bag on the golf course, however the unit does not have a stand that allows it to stand on its own.

There are also handles on each half of the IHCB that can be used to lift and adjust the assembled bag on and off the bike and pull/power carts.

Q: How heavy is the bag?

A: Without golf clubs inserted, the Caddybag weighs about 5 pounds. With 14 clubs, the unit weighs approximately 15 pounds.

Q: How about chroming?

A: Chroming is complete on all components. This makes the Ironhorse Caddybag an appealing product, and when the IHCB is not in use the mounting brackets blend into the bike chrome and basically improve the “look” of the bike.

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, fly rod tubes, rifles/shotguns, baseball bats, and other sporting equipment. Because the bag tubes are waterproof and plastic, you could even transport refreshments and ice. Simply remove the inserts for the golf clubs if necessary and stow your favorite gear in the IHCB. Smaller rifle carrying cases fit into the Caddybag.

Each half of the Caddybag is 36 inches long. The opening on each side is 6 inches wide and 3 inches across. The Ironhorse Caddybag can accommodate all types of sporting and games equipment.

Q: I have a sport bike. Will the Caddybag fit?

A: The Caddybag doesn't fit sport bikes or "crotch rockets." As stated on our home page, the Caddybag fits all sizes of saddlebags and cruiser-style bikes that have a passenger back seat and passenger foot pegs.
