Default Viking Tool Bag as Battery Bag? (Pics on Page 2)

Anyone try one? 4-1/2" is pretty wide, but the length and height are spot on... at a great price.

not sure what you mean by battery bag, but i've had one of their tool bags, a sissy bar bag and a set of their saddle bags since feb or march and use the hell out of them with no probs. my only complaints with any of their stuff was the locks on their saddlebags are completely useless, i can pull my bags open with one finger while locked. and their quick detatch mounting hardware was the wrong size even though they sent me another set the mounting holes were a few inches too close together for the studs. the quality of the quick disconect hardware was also junk wouldnt have trusted it if it did fit.

the bags have been great though and i'd buy them again if something happened to mine. also the customer service was very good, they reply fast and aim to please.

Looks like it would work. I do not think it would get in the way of your leg.

4.5" is pretty wide. I have a BAD&G battery bag and I think it's 2". It hits my leg at stops but I no longer notice it. For me at 5'9" the extra width would probably get in the way. It would be nice to have the extra space.
