Marsh, Hey thanks!! The bag is an old bag I had in the garage for 15+ years collecting dust. I made a bracket, cut off shoulder strapand mounted it on strut to carry the small stuff. It was a gift to carry around old car pull-out stereo (remember those?) It works great and looks pretty cool. I wish I could tell you where to find it. Sorry.
BTW.....
Nice bike you got there. I just got mine pinstriped last week........Very Awesome!!!!!

Igot'em on both sides of my Std. Great for tools and small things. Just be aware, as someone else said, the locks are not keyed. You can open them with any tubular key, which would make theft of your tools or whatever pretty easy.

Hi all. I've been hanging around for awhile and you have given me plenty of help. Here is a nice place I found for my air suspension gauge.

A question for you guys running the tool boxes, with a passenger or without. Do the passengers have issues with confort on the feet? Or do the pass pegs stick out enough?

I made my own spacers for the footpegs and made them shorter than the Harley ones so they won't stick out as far. Cost alot less also.

Man I love these tool boxes and really wanted to go with them but I just hated the way the footpegs folded over the box once you extended them. If I never rode two up I'd go with those in a second and just 86 the passenger pegs. I ended up going with the storage tube and it's good but youcan't fit nearly the stuff in that that you can in the tool boxes.

You can rotate the peg mount so it willfold it in another direction.

I thought about that but will that work with the stealth foot pegs I have? Since they aren't round I figured I was swept.
