Beeeeep! tried and did not fit. I believe that besides that you have a bit more rake than I do, my FL fender fills that spot right there... tnx bro.

RDKingRider, I totally follow you on the paint, will try some microfiber in between or even a tiny piece of lamb skin to avoid scratches

SoftailŽ Chrome Toolbox

Add a traditional touch to your modern classic. Mirror-chrome teardrop-shaped Toolbox provides just enough lockable storage space for sunglasses, a cell phone, and important documents. Kit includes chrome-plated mounting brackets and barrel-style locks with keys. Top-hinged toolbox accepts nylon Toolbox Liner P/N 91838-92 (sold seperately) for packing ease.

They mount on the side on the swing arms.

This is what wife wants on hers when she doesn't have the big ol bags on it.

This is from Harley Davidson's web site, sorry I don't know how to link it and wife not here to help.

So, so far the only thing I had was the windshield bag (and since I'm not putting on the windshield ever again) took the bag off of the lexan and looked for a place to fix it. I found a nut behind the license plate and fitted perfectly, not sure about the looks but it works for keeping a few items...

Whoops! sorry, forgot to get back to you on that. Yes, that is what I have in mind (but the leather windshield bag was what I had on hand ) I'll find one of those, the garage door opener's outter switch will have to be fixed into something rigid like that besides being water-resistant too. Thanks RKR.

And thank for the compliments on the bike hpfatboy,

Mimo.
