I have two fork bags on my FatBoy Lo. I have one zip tied to the back of my removable (although I never actually remove it) sissy bar/luggage rack and the second one I have zip tied to the lowest part of my frame in the front. I just recently added the mustache engine guards but it doesn't get in the way of anything. I forget I even have the front one most of the time. I will try to get some pictures up tomorrow. They aren't lockable but they supply more than enough room for a tire guage, my paperwork in a zip lock baggie, a Gerber multi-tool, and a bag of zip ties, a set of clear glasses, and a spare set of sun glasses. The second bag stays pretty empty but I have managed to cram a lot of stuff in there before.

You cannot have the toolbox keyed to your bike. The lock is not made to never be keyed. That being said, you can have the lock replaced and keyed, by a locksmith.

Thanks for all the info! I think I am going to try the smaller swingarm bag, see how I like it. I just am not into lots of buckles and jingly stuff, so I might see if I can get it modded to a cleaner look.

I am new to this forum but I have a few questions related to this topic. I don't currently have a bike but considering getting a Fatboy or maybe a used Night Train.
How large is the lockable teardropped toolbox? I don't looking for alot of storage like bags but just a small lockable storage to place my handgun when I am entering a place such as bars that I am not allow to carry me handgun.
Also is there anyone that produces a storage bag that mounts behind a single seat using the seat mounting bolts. I would basically call it a "rumble bag".
I also remember seeing a seat I believe it was a Corbin seat and called a smuggler that had a locking storage where the passenger seat is located but I can't seem to find one for the softtail.
