I'll add to the other's recommendations of a windshield bag. I got mine from www.coolsac.com.

Most of the Softail owners like to hang around with Geezers so we can carry their stuff for them in our bags.
Funny but true! My last trip was with my neighbor who has a Ultra Classic. Because we had our wives with us he carried alot of extras for me. Soon I will add a sissy bar rack and that will take care of the problem.

Pocket bike here!

I installed a fork bag on the front frame




and I also have a bag that straps to the riser.



plenty enough room for just me, unless I go on a "long" trip, then it's a bag on the seat behind me.

Tool kit in one side... extra set of glasses (clears), side stand plate, small flashlight, cigars and lighter in the other to name some of the stuff. Softtails = being creative... I have a cargo net and a small bag I strap to the rear for long trips... makes for a nice backrest too!

I replaced the leather tank panel with one that holds stuff. I only keep insurance and garage door opener in it and dont think I could get sunglasses into it.

Hey Voodoo, nice deuce! My brother in law has a deuce and a RK. He wants to sell his deuce because he likes the ride better on his RK but I'm trying to get him to keep his deuce for around town. I wish I could afford two bikes cause I would take it off his hands. Nice work man!

My fork bag holds - flashlight, ear warmer, clear night glasses, allen wrench set, pocket knife, tire gauge, screwdriver, bandana, and garage door opener.

Thanks Dangerous - I love the Deuce... wife wants me to get a bagger for her pleasure, I told her sure as soon as you are ready for it too sit next to the Deuce and not in place of it... The RK would be right up there as my first choice for a companion bike, tell your B-I-L to keep what he has - he's got the best of both worlds!

Damn Whiskeys, that's one of the nicest baggers (non-vintage) I've seen. Very nice.
