Great job! What tools/sizes are you carrying inside the pouch?

Why would some one carry tools on a brand new bike?
That thing looks more like a glove box, for... well... gloves, sun glasses or Cigars, cutter and lighter.
That's what I'd haul in it.

Looks to me like you've mounted the box to both the swingarm and the frame/fender support. Exactly how does that work? How about a picture of the inside of the box showing how it's mounted.

That was my first thought as well. As you ride, the toolbox will move up and down around the bolt in the fender rail.

So you didn't use the mounting bracket they offer for this right? I want to mount mine the same exact way, leaving room for a passenger peg and farther back from the oil tank.
