Wouldn't a chain droop down and scratch up a bagger? (yep, that stupid **** matters to me) Besides, that's why Road Glides have those nifty glove boxes.

Come to think of it, I hate to have anything in my pocket while riding...

I was given one as a gift, wore it a only wore it a few times. The problem was working around telecommunications equipment it snagged on everything. It end up being a safety hazard. Maybe the front pocket chain money clip would have been better.

I own a rubber band.

Plastic in the center, bills wraped around the cards. Install rubber band + insert into front pocket.

I don't have a wallet. Everything stays in my front pocket. Sitting on a lump makes my back hurt.

But has anyone ever heard of a wallet on a chain getting caught in the wheel ?

And shouldn't HD start selling a belted wallet, since they don't use chain drive anymore ?

+1 on the small wallet (card holder) in the front pocket. A lot of men end up with nerve damage or other issues from sitting on a wallet in their *** pocket.

I use a chain wallet when i ride, have duplicate driver's lic. keep a credit card in and some cash. Better function for me, then style. I keep my wallet at home with my important ****. Laid my sporty down and looked like i had a garage sale! **** i had to gather up cell phone,glasses, and wallet looked like was on a cheese grinder and doc's in a paper shredder.
