Bag solution for floating fender?
I switched to a floating fender, I love the look but as you know you give up the ability to mount saddle bags.
Note I have a tool kit on the left side so I can't fit a swingarm bag either
I've been searching all over (online and offline) and cannot locate a bag solution.
Am I out of luck? If anyone knows a bag solution please provide a link to item.
Thanks and happy holidays

it wasn't a professional or manufactured thing, but i cobbled up one for myself, for a honda vlx project with a floating fender (actually i haven't put a fender on it yet). if you have better fab skills than me (not that big of an accomplishment), or know someone who can flesh out the idea, it might work for you.
basicly i made as small a bracket as i could that kind of followed the curve of the rear of the seat, and painted it black to keep it from being too noticeable when i wasn't carrying a bag, to try and have a bobber-ish look. then i made a bag hanger that bolts to it, and has a long u-lock that locks to it.
it kind of works like an upside down sissy bar on the side behind the seat. i have a small sissy bar bag, and a couple other bags that hang on it pretty decently when i want to carry something.
i can add a few pics if you want, but like i said it's a cobbled up thing. i think someone who could throw better skills at the idea could come up with something nice though.
