From time to time I have been getting requests from guys that typically don't run saddlebags to come up with a set of pouches that can mount to both sides of the bike that don't look obtrusive. I'm working on a set (left and right) of tool pouches that can be mounted on the side of a California Outlaw Style of Deluxe.
Here is a prototype for that purpose and I'm looking for feedback inprovements and or ideas. Know before you go any further, this is a prototype the production version will be tooled to match the seat and laced around the edges.

looks pretty good , maybe a bit more squared off . first thing i thought when i saw it was ... that's looks about right for a Glock . might attract more attention from the LEOs than you really want .
my second thought was ... is the production model going to have a more secure closing mechanism ?
i think it's very cool that you're coming here asking for feedback . i hope you sell a ton of them !

I can do any type of closure. I'm thinking maybe a couple of straps that go all the way around the bag with quick release buckles. As far as coming on here for feedback. I've done this with everyone of my products. You've got to make products that fit the Biker's needs...right??
