Lots of places to choose from. Measure size of the bag you need to attach then the bag you're thinking of and the distance the straps connect to the bars.

Thought it was a simple question actually to see what people have and are using. Seeing one doesn't fit all and most around are not waterproof. Oh and I have been riding for many years and I have probably ridden on longer rides than you will ever do in your life!!

Doubful you been ridin longer than I, unless your dad put you on a scoot back in the early 60's. MY edit took that into consideration when I saw your enter dat. Be nice, damn it, read the entire post

I can see where my previous post would be misconstrued as negative, my apologies. I'm posting a link below so you get an idea of some bags available. This company makes heavy duty leather products and comes highly recommended. Depending on your scoot's handlebars and tree, take a measurement for the bag that'll give you an uniform look. Keep ridin, I know I am

I've thought about getting one but they're usually too small to carry much. I've got a sort of big bag I had on my sissy bar but it's too big for my bar area, unless I had taller risers.

Thanks TF, appreciate the link, we struggle to have the variety of products in Australia that you guys do in the States. This subject is one example, as COaC has said he struggles to find the right one. That is what I have faced. I don't want some huge eyesore on the bars and I only need one to carry my jacket and maybe gloves. I also want one that hangs above the light and is waterproof. So I will check out your link and thanks again.....MATE..

Old but good post on the subject. I'll buy the Fox creek bag after having searched everywhere else and not finding anything nearly as good, then finding this post.
Thanks.
My use will be a little different though. I learned 10 years ago that the bag installed above the headlight works like a windshield in deflecting the wind just enough so I'm still in the wind like I want to be, and not blocking the wind, and also no whipping on the head like the windshields I tried on the Wide Glide at that time. Now have a Street Bob.
