Fork Bag or Swing Arm Bag
I need something to carry my insurance & a extra pair of glasses on my night train. I'm not sure what type of bag to get. I like the look of the swing arm bag but I can't relocate my license plate if I go that route correct? Sometimes I like the look of fork bags & sometimes I don't. Which bag would you guys rather have?

You can move your palte udner the tail light with the softbrake bracket. You will be able to put it on the side, but it all depends on where it mounts. I think you can get an axle mount side mount plate. You cannot use a swing arm mount side mount though.

I currently run a small HD pleather fork bag mounted on the risers above my headlight. It's small but enough to hold my phone, keys and EZPass.
I have, however, had my eye on a swingarm bag by Nash.

I fabbed up a plate to move the swingarm bag forward to clear my swingarm mounted plate. It depends on where you have the plate mount though.

The Leatherworks bag is far nicer than that Nash bag. Get it here. I just sold mine as I am putting full size saddlebags on my ride.

The Leatherworks description says it "may" work on the right side. What the hell does that mean? Like, will it or won't it?
