No room for a jacket. I keep my insurance card in it. Can fit sunglasses and small stuff. It's got a great look on the Denim Lo.

Dang it!! I would like something OTHER than the typical saddlebag on my bike so I could fit a jacket in it. What would you guys suggest for that? I'm thinking maybe a solo luggage rack....not sure about that either, but at least I could bungee my jacket to it!! LOL Give me some suggestions....

Roll your jacket and bungee it to your bars. Then take one more bungee, loop it under your headlight, and then hook it to the bottom of the two bungees you used to attach your jacket to the bars. That third bungee will keep your jacket from flopping up over your short bars. Walmart sells little mini bungees that work perfect for that.

Here is the Garage Leathers bag on my fatboy. I have had a hoodie, a bottle of water and some tools on mine.

Yeah, I've thought about doing this anyway!! It's really not that bad of an idea and I've seen several people doing this, so it must work.

Looks good! That's pretty much the look I'm going for. Going to take the rear seat off and put the fender bib on it to cover up the protective tape. That way, when my wife wants to ride, I can still put the rear seat on and the protective tape will still be there.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and the pictures. If anyone else has anymore suggestions, please post up.

Here's mine from SoKustom. I carry a few tools in there and can fit a sweatshirt or windbreaker. I throw a lunch in there too.

I personally like the look of your bag. It looks a little more refined and sophisticated, while still playing the "rebelious" spirit, compared the the garage leathers ones. But then, that's just my opinion.

Did you get it directly from SoKustom? I may have to look into them. I'm just thinking that would look pretty cool on my bike...
