Roll Bag on Handlebars?????
This question might be for the shorter riders out there like myself, those who have ridden with roll bags on their handlebars, like the ones Kuryakyn have, does it impair your view of the road???? BTW, thanks for the pics.

Doesn't bother me at all. I am 5'11 though and have no idea how tall you are. I have the kurakyn on mine it sits off the headlight bucket by about 1/2" so as not to rub the bucket.

I know way back in yesteryear... I used to ride with stuff wrapped in a sleepin' Blanket.."Then Came Bronson" style for those who remember back then...LOL... I never had a problem
except if I got caught in the rain with nothin' covering the bag, then it got REAL HEAVY ... I'm 5'8" and never had a problem seeing anything....

It is a Saddlemen, Drifter. 13.5" X 7" X 8" (710 cu in capacity) 3 straps, 1 around the headlight, 2 around the bars.You can open it from the side-zipper or from the top, 2 locking roller buckles ( Small cheap lock). I think I paid $65.00 for it from the local Stealer. Nice bag. I can put a pair of jeans rolled up, tshirt, flip flop's, hat. Makes it nice if your going for a poke and want to throw in a lightweight jacket. Here's a better pic of it. Bugs were free.

Thats not bad at all, price and size. Do you think a Windvest can be used with this on a Street Bob?
