Solo Bag Idea
Solo Bag Idea
Not sure if this has been done on here. I like the look and idea of the licks brands solo dyna bag but not the price. So when looking on eBay at tool bags I thought hey I could mount that in the same spot as the licks on the left side swing arm. They are close in size and would be nice and compact yet I could carry my lunch and not in my jacket for 35 miles!! What do you guys think? Good idea or just ****ing crazy lol. Here are a few I wanted to try.

Or could use a sissy bar bag too. It's bigger and then I could put the fork one up front.

You could mount the tool bag to the rear struts (using strap between fender and struts). I do that. I believe it's called a Tilly bag when mounted like that.
The bag on the left is a solo bag, the bag on the right is my tool "tilly" bag.

I don't recall the size, but I got it from Fox Creek. You just have to make sure the straps slots on the back of the bag allow the straps to go vertical (vs horizontal for a tool bag strapped to the forks).
Ok cool I think I have some ordering to do! I might just put new holes in and use black zip ties too. Thanks for the help!

Zip ties may scratch paint. If your bag doesn't come with leather straps, go to a leather repair/shoe repair store and get some leather strips from them.

Leather straps are just as bad...my struts are down to bare metal in spots from my solo bags.
