Thanks. The bag is a good idea.
I traded in my seat to Saddlemen for one that has a built-in removable backrest, so my blocks are sitting on my workbench. Hopefully won't need them anymore. My new seat should be here on Wednesday. It was somehow easier phsycologically to pay for it this way, rather than shelling out the big amount all at once. That's also why I rarely run the gas tank in my car and truck below half a tank before filling up. Mind games.

That will work, and give you some extra storage to boot! More then one way to skin a cat.
