I got Willie & Max's sissy bar bag mounted on the passenger peg mounting hole. Looks Ok! I don't want to mount saddle bags or fork bag.

I started out with one chrome toolbox on the right side, liked it so well, added a left side box for onboard electronics.
Man.. that is a great looking scoot!

Hey folks..1st post here, and looks like a huge # of knowledgeable folks.. I am ordering the Windzone essential toolkit and want to carry on my Springer (FXSTS).. don't really want to install the teardrop tool carrier and don't have saddlebags.. Any options? Someone had mentioned that they had a softail w/ a fork bag down low on the downtubes, but seems that it would cover the voltage regulator..

Thx for the input in advance.. Wayne
Can you send me a pic (or post one) of the teardrop on yours?

Thx - Wayne

My teardrop toolbox is not my favorite accessory, but it was a sacrifice I felt I had to make. I toyed with the idea of putting a bag somewhere on the front, but liked the teardrop better. I put a different lock on it and had it keyed to my ignition key, so it is more secure , too.

Wayne,

Here is a pic of the toolbox. There are also pics of the whole left side of the bike in my photo album. Hope that helps.

I did have both left and right side chrome toolboxes on mine. But I never had to use any of the tools that I carried on the road. Probably jinx myself since I removed them.

Hehe. Yeah, I thought about taking mine off, too. But I did so much stuff to my bike over the winter I figured I better take the tools with. Once you start tampering with it is usually when it breaks.

I recently mounted a nice tool bag on my luggage rack. Zip tied (black zip ties) it to the luggage rack bracket and the ties don't show. It isn't in this pic because I just got it. It's 10" wide, 4" deep and 6" tall, has two buckles.

Hilarious.. I was trying to find about fitting a toolbag on an FXSTS that I just bought and found this post that I had created on my 1st FXSTS!
