Default fork bags

i have looking like crazy to find a nice (synthetic...like woven nylon or similar) fork bag.

i need something with a little more storage space than the typical "toolbag".

a guy at my work has one that is about 8" in diameter and about 16" or so long.

it has plastic clips for quick open/close.

He got it at a bike week/show.

but i can't find anything on the net or at stores.

let me if anybody has any leads for me.

thanks.

I don't see very many that big. I woud think once you throw a bunch of tools in a hanging bag that big it might start sagging pretty fast. Heres a pretty big one, but not really what your asking for. Are saddlebags not in your future?

One thing to look out for with a fork bag is does it hit your front fender when braking?

Try a large store like Walmart, & then wander the departments looking for bags.
I use a black camera bag lashed to the handlebars for tools, registration, glasses... & found a "Flambeau" fishing tackle box when I need more space. Both are “Cordora”, don’t scratch, & hold the weight.

I had that happen to my Sporty. I put a fork bag on it and about a week later I noticed it was rubbing on the paint of the fender. I never did that again.

Ebay has a ton. Go to a local swap meet.
Dont put tools in it until you check the clearance to the fender.
