Question Small pouch/bag.

What is everyone running for a small handle bar bag? All I need is something large enough too hold some gloves a can of snuff, and a few small odds and ends. Must fit the stock risers and between the fairing too keep everything looking tidy.


Fyi, the bike is a Lowrider S.

Never found a bag that mounted to the bars I liked but, my wife has the swingarm bag that Harley sells and really likes it. Good luck with your search

this. I have the HD Swingarm bag and it’s great. I can hold anything I need for a normal ride (glasses, phone, keys, gloves, etc), including a small cloth backpack that can handle an emergency trip to the store.

I don't like swing arm bags, I use this on my handlebar risers.

Measurements, would ya thin? Post what ya need, then ask. If I needed a bag I'd take a measurement, what gonna fit best my bars. L X W X D, and riser distance.
Not everything we've used fits anything.

Found a bag that fits perfectly at an Army surplus store. It started life as a small tool bag. I cut the handles off and attached it to the bars with velcro straps. Deep central pocket with a flat pocket out front and two smaller ones on each side. I think I paid maybe 20 bucks.
