Options for Storage

On my Super Glide I currently have the small leather round pouch mounted behind my stock license plate. Well, I'm planning on taking the stock place mount off and putting on a lay-back plate, which means no more room for the pouch, which I never liked the look of anyways but it served the purpose. Question, I want to keep it as bare boned as possible so saddle bags are out of the question but what kind of suggestions can I get for something to put my registration, insurance card and the occassion change of eyewear? Am I going to be stuck with a front handlebar mounted bag? Keep in mind I'm a female owner/operator but I don't want the girlie crap on my bike!!!!! But remembering to grab the paperwork every time I ride is a pain and and it's not going to last long if it goes thru the wash. Anyone have any creative suggestions or off-brand sources for small, discrete storage options? I've thought about one of the magnetic hide-a-key boxes but I wasn't sure how we'll that'd work and it wouldn't work for goggles......

Thanks!!!

RE: Options for Storage

If you check the Harley catalog on page 370, youwill find storage tubes that bolt to your front frame. Thismay help you.

RE: Options for Storage

I have seen advertisements for small aluminum tubes that are mounted to the frame or crash bar that can carry the paperwork, not sure of about the shades. I think they are called "stash cans" or something like that. Maybe the shades could go into a fanny pack. Just athought.

RE: Options for Storage

Sounds to me like you have a conundrum.How about a small pouch for the paper up at the bar riser,the shades could just tucked in the same area where you can see them.I bet you will figure it out.
