I wanted to do that as well in the Swing Arm. I contacted Ryan Reed Designs to see if they sold a brackets for this. I was going to put one on each side. They told me they only do them for their builds. Had to settle for the stock location in the mean time.

I dont think it would be too hard to fab up a bracket though. Those tear drop tool boxes, hold a lot more stuff than I thought they would. Two would be sweet in the swing arm location.

Yea I had the toolbox on my old Fat Boy Lo and wanted to put this on my new one. It definitely holds a lot of tools!
I bought the Cruze Tools Roadtech Teardrop. Lots of tools at a reasonable price.
