Default Fat Bob 114 storage options

Im coming from a 2015 Road King to a 2019 Fat Bob 115, black denim. And totally loving it. Fantastic bike.

Still trying to figure out storage options though. I had the HD swingarm bag installed - good enough for phones, sunglasses, stuff like that. Not much more..

But I need a way to carry more for the daily commute (my laptop), or some space for a few cheese steaks and a six pack.
And I don’t want to change the exhaust. I like the look of the Ends Cuoio right saddlbag, but that’s basically like my swingarm bag... and too small for a laptop.



Was thinking of a taller sissybar with a Kuryakyn Momentum Deadbeat (or Freeloader) sissybar duffel.

Have any of you gone down this road or considered it?
What sissybar? Options seem limited for this bike.

Was also considering just getting a ***** and Max The Hooker under the stock passenger pullion, with a cargo net, but that seemed much less elegant, sloppy looking and prone to **** falling all over the place,,scratching the paint up or worse.

Would love to hear your thoughts/experiences here. Thanks in advance!

Careful, a swingarm bag is on the unsprung side of the suspension. Anything in that bag will get a severe shaking.

Sissy bar from top hand ventures (Bowman welding) and an old camera bag. Works great for me, even stuff the half helmet in there when riding in KY or IN. Bag will hold a six pack and a gallon of milk with a little room to spare.

I'm going to get the HD Two-up luggage rack and just strap my existing bags down when I need them. Also have the swingarm bag on order.

Gillham,
Looked at his etsy page. Are you using the one that is listed for Street Bob's? Seems like it should work but just trying to verify. Thanks in advance.

Nope - just message him. Tell him what you're looking for. Glance at what he's got available and just say you want X, Y, and Z for the 2018 Fat Bob.
For instance, mine is a pointed traveler - but I wanted an extra cross member.

Thrashin Supply has a throw over design saddlebag and you can also adjust the velcro yoke so you can fit it on any fender! Here’s the link
