Default Saddle bag alternatives

Can folks show me their alternative methods to traditional saddle bags? I like the swingarm bags but cannot find one that works on the Dyna. I am looking for a daily bag that will cover odds and ends but not too obtrusive.

Give Rob at Garage Leathers a call. I got a chance to meet him when I picked up my bag. Customer service was great. The bag is great. I will post some pics soon

If it's just to carry small items, I agree with a fork bag, I've been tempted to order a solo bag from garage leathers, but a bit pricey...
