I have a tool bag mounted as Anubisss does. It came from Fox Creek Leather, and was about $20 or $25.

The guy I bought my bike from mounted his tool bag low on the frame in the front. It looked like a cool/unique location but I'm not exactly sure how it would fare if the roads were wet.

Mine is mounted to the forks using heavy duty zip-ties.

Watch tool bag location above the front fender. I have seen the paint on the fender scuffed from tool bags before. I went with a windshield bag over tool bag. I always liked those chrome tool cases that installed on the rear swing arm side frame.
