Default Fat Bob Tool Bag Spots?

I guess I need to a tool bag though I really don't want it to be very noticeable. What type (rigid, soft) and where are you guys who use them attaching them on Fat Bobs? I don't know that I want to set on on the headlights. I was thinking about behind the front forks...

Thanks!

I put mine on the down tubes behind the front wheel. It blends in.

I hung it up in front of the risers - didn't like.
I hung it under the headlamps - didn't like.
I hung it under the regulator - don't really like, but can live with it.

I'm running mine on the bottom front of the frame. It's just a cheap Harley tool bag that I got from the dealer for $20. It came with a leather strap to attach it to the bike but for the spot I put it the strap wouldn't get tight enough. Instead I used some black zip ties and it worked out pretty good.

I picked up a softail chrome toolbox and mounted it on my battery cover. Looks good and out of the way.

Mine are in the bottom of my throw-overs. But if I just wanted to carry a small tool kit, and nothing else, low, behind the front wheel, is out of the way, and keeps the CG low as possible.

A lockable chin fairing would be cool.
