Default Lack of storage on Fat Bob

Does anyone have any pics of any storage for their Fat Bob excluding saddle bags? Just looking for a small place to put a hat and a couple other things.

Thanks,
Matt

I can cram a lot in this bag. Yesterday rode home with chaps, heavy sandals, gloves, and jacket crammed inside (cold riding in the morning, don't need that stuff on the way home).

the problem isnt what ya gonna carry, the problem is viable options for the FB's. so far HD has put out only 2 maybe 3 options, not including the frontend, when it comes to carry alls etc.
This is disappointing. they create of Hot ticket item with the Scoot, and then pretty much leave you friggin hanging with available options.

Especially for someone like me who isnt MOD savvy like some of you geniuses. I wish i had half the talent in creating MODS.

I'd love to mount a set of Street Glide bags to my bike, but I haven't seen anything on the market to do that. I have however seen a kit for Softails to do the same.....figures.

I had been looking for the "right" bags for my Street Bob for two years, since I didn't really want a big bagger style saddlebag.
All options seemed the same....very limited until I finally found what I wanted at:
http://garageleathers.com/

Check out his Dyna solo bag, in one pic it's on a Fat Bob.
Owner's name is Rob, and he's just a straight up cool, talented guy. Even makes the coolest Sporty bag I've seen.
Check it out, may be just what you're looking for.

I mounted a fork bag right above the regulator on the front of the frame. Doesn't stand out and holds a small amount of stuff.

Get a seat with a drivers backrest (love my C&C Fastback) and put a small bag on it. I run a Nelson-rigg mini roll most the time but can also put a large bag on when I need it. The bag and the backrest remove together in just a couple seconds.

Also have a fork bag mounted down low.

Not a Fatbob but would work the same.



Removed and shows fork bag

I don't have a Fat Bob but I use a small windshield bag from fox creek leather that I mounted to the sidecover. http://www.foxcreekleather.com/810.html
it doesn't hold much but I can keep an extra set of goggles my paperwork and maybe a thin pair of leather gloves. I also have a fork bag and a couple other bigger bags for longer trips.

Here is what it looks like on the bike.
