Default Slim baggage?

I looked at the swingarm bag from Harley, but the way I hang my bike in the turns, I'd destroy it in a weekend. I was thinking about a small tube-shaped bag strapped behind the seat kinda like those rolls. Saddlebags are not an option. If I wanted a Heritage, I would've bought one! Anybody have any other ideas? Thx

Hi, I had the HD swingarm bag on my fat Bob. Took the bike round some sharp twisty mountain roads in Spain, riding at pace. Afterwards, the footpegs were a little shorter, the bag was fine.

Thanks for those suggestions. I'll check out those other bags. I'm still worried about the swingarm bag dragging. I ride very aggressively. I drag boards all day long on the Ultra, and it has alot more ground clearance than the Slim!

There's an additional benefit to the round webby bag on top of the headlight, It will take a lot of air off of your body....
