Default Handle Bar Bag

2011 Fatboy Lo
Looking for some where to buy a bag for in between my Windshield and handle bars.
Something big enough to hold a pack of cigarettes, sunglasses, keys ect.

I have a detachable windshield and would like to keep the bag on the bike when I remove the windshield.
Have seen a lot of bags but all of them attach to the windshield.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this leather bag on my '07 FatBoy. Took two wide zip ties and attached it around the risers. Took the leather strings off also. Fits nicely up there and holds necessities.

IMO the best fork/tool bag that Harley makes, minus the tassels....

I have a small tool bag that I zip tie to the risers. I don't run a windshield, but here is a pic of mine. It's not exactly what you are looking for but it might give you ideas. As far as brands for these I really like Leatherworks stuff. It is really nice.

I have one similar to the one Dugan posted. I like it because it is soft. I keep my gate and garage door openers in it. To open, I can just press on the outside of the bag where the openers are and open the gate and garage door. I ride my bike every day so that's pretty convenient. I keep a few handy tools in it along with my insurance card.

I used to have the Harley one above but it was not big enough to fit all I needed in it. It is nice that it is soft and pliable.

Thanks everyone.
That's what I was looking for. Some pictures and ideas on how to make something work.
Looks like I'm on the net ordering a bag today.
The wife hates when I'm offshore and not working due to bad weather. The UPS man loves it because it's job security for him. haha
Once again thank for the help

Check out the Viking bags at http://www.vikingbags.com The bags are nicely made but watch out for the S&H costs as they are somewhat high.

Got mine at Renagade in Tucson. Made of soft vinyl. Works great.

Anyone know of a company that makes a hard shell like those that snaps open and closed? Maybe lockable? I'm thinking something like a glasses case, but larger and more cylindrical.
