Same on I have attached to my shield., minus the leather thongs.....lol
Buckels are too much hassle and the zipper with velcro on the flap makes it very easy to get into when on the road.

Cool. How did you attach it to the fender strut? My (just bought it) 07 Street Bob only has one bolt.

Thanks

The back has 2 thin straps that buckle on the inside. I just fed one through the fender brace & one around the blinker light mount. Here is pic.

Yes it could, the two small vertical areas on the back of the bag that I marked with arrows are straps that come out and are adjustable. This thing could mount to forks, handlebars, lower frame, sissy bar, wherever.

-and only 14 bucks at walmart.

NEVER MIND. I tried to use it today and it does not work very well. disregard

I've got the Willie and Max Ranger tool bag mounted on the fork cross brace. It sits low enough that it doesn't hit the light and high enough so that it doesn't smack the fender. It's dimensions are 12 x 5 1/2 x 2 1/2. The one you're looking at is 1 1/2" deeper and, to me, that just looks way too big hanging off the front of the bike. You might like the looks of a tool bag this large up front. I don't... just sayin'.

Willie and Max products, in general, are good quality and will last.

BTW... the sissy bar bag you see in my sig pic (not W & M) only gets mounted for extended trips.
