Default Don't want a Bag But need some thing?

I like a clean look on a bike but I need a place to put some stuff when i ride.I don't want any bags hangin off the bike and a stash tube is useless! Where is the best place to hide stuff?

What type of stuff?? Use your electrical access cover to tape a container for your $$, or your ID, or registration. Other than that, a jacket with many pockets to keep that clean look.

There's a small sissy bar pack that will hold things like smokes, glasses, gloves, etc. There's also buddy packs you can use with a fender mount bracket, noticed you have the solo seat.

You've got a clean ride, but don't get all OCD about using something for your storage needs. You might be able to machine something to fit the lower triple tree, underneath the headlight mount for some items. Then have it chromed to match your other stuff. You do have the "Chrome-a-lot" disease. Might want to get that checked out.

This is where you can be creative. Use cardboard & paper to mach up a design you like. Then have it made. Most good ideas start in someone's mind.

Milk crate + bungie cords + fender rack = old school yamahopper look.

Thats what you want to do.... if you don't want bags.

I feel the same way. I have a detachable sissy bar with luggage rack and a roll bag I use for more or larger items and I even have a backpack sissy bar bag for trips. But for carrying smaller things like a few tools, my keys, cell phone, do-rag, gloves, or ball cap, I got a fork/handlebar bag and keep it mounted to my bars all the time. Still pretty clean looking and, for a small bag, I can get a suprising amount of stuff in it.

Here's a pic that shows it:

If you don't want bags hanging off the bike, get some bungee cords and strap whatever to the rear saddle.

That clean look is nice and if you just want to go profiling, then you're all set. However, sometimes you just gotta have a place to put your ****. I'm getting a roll bag to go over the headlights on my Fat Bob so I can stuff my glasses and a book, since sometimes I like something to read over a meal. Get the right piece and it may add to the appearance of your bike, rather than subtract.

you can get a fender protector and just use a bungee net over your items. IMHO you should get a bikersfriend bag in the size you need. Can attach to bike without sissybar and has backrest pads for xtra comfort.

Depends on how much stuff. Its hard to keep the clean look and haul much.

I have a fork bag mounted down low for small things I always take.

Then I have a small T-Bag I mount to my drivers backrest for when I need a little more space. It comes off quickly for when I dont need it.

Default Stuff

You can get the same roll bag as 2007fxdc has and mount it many different places according to your tastes. Above the headlight, below the headlight, on the down tubes above your little fairing, just below the tank on the down tubes,on the left side rear swing arm, on the right side rear swing arm, behind your seat on the fender, in front of your tail light...Pic one
