Default Opinion?
So I added a fork bag today.I've never been too keen on them but for practical reasons I thought I'd try it, but I'm not sold on the look. The more I look at it the more it grows on me but I'm still not too sure.

What's your initial opinion?

Ya I am kind of with you on them but needed something. First I had it above the headlight but it scuffed the headlight and my triple tree so I moved it under the headlight hard mounted but ended up moving it down on the frame and hardly notice it now.

I kind of like that. I'll keep that option open for sure.

bb, what were issues with the bag being right under your light?

I'm getting ready to tool one up, like I had on my previous bike and was just wondering what made you decide to move down on the chin?

I had it hard mounted with the headlight bolt. When I got a detachable windshield it interfered with the bag so I moved it down and liked it better.

Now that I cut the windsheild down to the right height it would work again but I like it better down low.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm thinking about mounting straps around the lower tree... but I do have to check that with my det wimpshield also... thanks for the remind.
