Default Windshield Bag Options

I have a 16 Fat Boy S with a Windsplitter windshield and can't find a bag that will directly fit it. Does anyone know of a bag that works well this this windshield? Thanks! I would prefer a quick access zipper or single tab, just for docs, goggles and such.

You could try Leatherworks Inc, if they don't have a windshield bag they may have a fork bag that appeals to you. I have several of their made in USA products and they are of darn good quality.

I don't see how one would mount without the center cross bar support like my RK has on it. You may better off getting one of those small leather bags that mount to the swing arm.

I used to have the HD fork bag which strapped to the handlebars. It was OK, but no longer fits with the windshield. Also it was hard to get into with the belt style buckles. I already have the swing arm saddle bag on the bike, but use it for a few things already. Was just hoping someone had already figured out the best fit for the wind splitter? I am also waiting for an HD sissy bar backpack to come in, but won't always be carrying that with me. At some point I am looking to fit some hard bags on the bike, but haven't come across a set I like yet. Viking makes some decent ones, but I don't like the lock style or the need to relocate my turn signals. Also want to be able to remove them quickly and Viking has some fugly quick detach hardware. Thanks for the replies!

Could you make a mount to connect somewhere in the area you want to mount it?

I could add a mount with no problem. I am a machinist and have full access to a machine shop. I'd prefer not to put extra holes in the SS mounts, but would if the perfect bag was found. Just haven't came across the right bag with quick access and perfect size. I'm going to a local shop (Nick's Customs)(was on American Pickers) which is only 20 minutes from me, this weekend to look through their stock of new and used. Hopefully they will have what I am looking for. I have spent hours on line and at HD looking, but most have annoying straps or the wrong type of mounting options.
