Default Storage "Chaps, Coat etc"

I have seen some people strap there chaps/Coat to the front of the bike, or a sissy bar "Don't have one" etc.

What do you guys do that don't have saddle bags? I almost always have chaps but are getting tired of carrying a back pack all the time. Was thinking of just strapping them to the front of the bike. Wanted though, and to see how others do this.

Before I got my bags, hell yeah I'd strap them on sissy bar, luggage rack, top of headlight, on top or beneath other gear whatever it takes. Roll or fold and bungee them down. when strapping anything to the light be careful of wires and impeding your turning "radius".

Learn how to fold a "chap-pack" then strap it on however/whatever works best for you. I've always gotten saddlebags but a lot of folks strap stuff to the bars.

A roll bag mounted to the bars is a good option for storing bulky (but not to heavy) bits and pieces.

Get a luggage rack, and a tail bag.

Now you know why old guys ride baggers.

Roll bag on the bars works for storing a jacket or items you may of picked up during a day trip.
