Cool man, just make sure it can't slide down on ya. It will ruin your fender if it rubs on it too long. Maybe get one of those little luggage racks that attach to the sissy bar?

It will never slide down or even touch the fender. The black leather straps that are a little hard to see in the pic make that impossible.

I've ran something similar for years now. All in the strapping.

If you don't mind me asking...where did you find this SoCal? I've been looking for that very thing and it looks like we're in the same part of the world. Thanks!

Got it here, but looks like they sold out, Hill. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/prod...used?a=2145886

Do a Google for "Swedish Gas Mask Bag" and you should find others. They are out there and super cool.

My leather saddlebags hold more and are easier to futz with when putting them on or taking them off the bike, or, it looks like, easier to put things into and open and close, and, it also looks like, harder to steal...at least by a few seconds, heh.

This holds my gym clothes. I take it with me into the gym. Don't want saddlebags.
