It doesnt get very dirty down there really. Now obviously if run down a muddy road its going to get nasty. It really doesnt get any dirty down there around here because under the headlight it got plastered with bugs and the dirt wipes off easier than bugs.

 

Just one of those things that is hard to get used to on the bike, almost like when the wife comes home with a new haircut...

 

Took me a little while to adjust to mine when I put it on. Now I actually added a second one (not in the picture) cause I needed a little more storage and didn't want to add saddle bags (don't like the look). It kind of grows on you after a bit.

 

That's kind of where I'm at. The look is starting to grow on me. Good thing is if I absolutely hate it I can quickly detach the thing and through it on eBay. Or just throw it on the tool shelf. I've blown 24 bucks in a lot worse ways before.

 

keep it low

 

I moved mine to the same place for the same reason.

 

If I did get one of those, I'd locate it where bberck did, low on the front of the frame.

 

Love mine, great place for house keys, cell phone, garage door opener, etc. I have the same bag as bberck but have it above the headlight, makes it easy to access...
