Posting this for hubby. He has a roll bag from T-Bags, called a "switchback". He is wondering if anyone has had experience / problems with this scratching the headlight? He wants to go with a minimalist look on hiS Softail Custom when possible, carrying that rather than his saddlebags, but realized it sits on the headlight and doesn't want it to get scratched. (yes, he knows he can put it on the back too).
Hmm... Wife posting, roll bag for looks, worrying about bag rubbing headlight....
I think I'll enjoy some popcorn...
And your helpful input is???? Just to clarify - my husband tends not to come onto this forum except to get an answer to a question he might have and USUALLY people are very helpful.He was out looking at this bag and putting it on his bike and I offered to post to the forum to see if anyone had any experience with this. (He says he'd rather be out riding - or working on the bike, than spending his time in front of a computer). (oh yeah - and he doesn't type well, and is a terrible speller and doesn't want to get a ration of BS about his spelling!!)
Thank you anyway.

I like your style Perch, and let me throw this out there. I have an old leather tool bag that sits on top of my headlight, has been for years and I carry all kinds of stuff in it, and it has yet to scratch enough to notice when I lift that bag up and look.
