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.
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.
