Default Fat Bob owners?

Where do you guys keep your paperwork for your bike?

My sports bike had a compartment under the seat, that you could access with your key to lift the seat.

But my harley doesn't have anyplace to keep my documents safe?

Any ideas?

I dont have a fat bob but Ill tell ya what I did on my sportster.
I got one of them traveling tooth brush holders... Like a buck at walmart.. Get a dark color black if ya can... or paint it black
Zip tied it to the bottom of my frame. cant even see it, 30K later still hanging on.

Might be an option. I can't see holding it in my wallet.

Do you think if you ever get pulled over that will be good enough?

Paperwork, business cards, etc. don't seem to hold up over time in my wallet.

I put mine in a sandwich bag and then put that behind the fuse box cover.

I had asked the same thing a bit ago. Behind the fuse cover sounded like the best idea to me. I just picked my bike up last night so Im still working out how everything goes and where to put stuff. Im sure Ill end up with some sort of side bag or battery bag but in the meantime Im just going to keep all the stuff behind the fuse cover...if I can figure out how to remove it.
