I bought a fork bag at the local HD dealer ($25) and attached it to the battery cover with a couple bolts and a piece of aluminum diamond plate I had in the garage.
I have the badgcustom battery bag. The leather is a little thin. I attached a piece of plastic backing on the inside to make sure the bag doesnt sag. Now the forward section of the flap is folding outward from the wind and will let in rain and stuff. So will probably attach some velcro to make sure the flap stays shut. I have the version with the quick clips.
Greg is quick to send these out, but wont try to listen to improvements as he said no one else has these issues.
Thats interesting because personally I cant see anyone that has one wouldnt have those issues. Not knocking the quality but it could definitly use stiffer leather or some type of insert to hold the shape better. For the price I expected a better design.
Even though I suggested a look at Badgcustoms, its not what I have on the bike now. I have a old Harley tool bag that's very thick leather.
You can fit most of these kind of bags to the battery cover by just removing the trim on the cover then using the holes left to bolt a bag on. If you go for a slightly larger bag like mine then its best to mount it back and down on the cover so as not to be in the way of your right leg i.e. mock up its position and sit on the bike before drilling holes in your bag.
