Default Small Sissy Bar bag for everyday

I've been looking for a small (approx 12" x 10" x 5") sissy bar bag for everyday use on my Fatboy. Ideally I'd like one that would have a handle on top and would simply slide over the backrest/sissy bar. I have a luggage rack too. I don't want to mess with bungies, I just want to get to my destination and grab the bag's handle, pull the bag off the sissy bar and go. Primarily use would be to hold my iPad and other office stuff.

The ones that look good include the Viking Cruise sissy bar bag, Saddlemen Cruisin sissy bar bag, and the Jafrum sissy bar bag.

Kind of leaning toward the Jafrum. Wish I could see how the Viking and Saddlemen bags attach to the sissy bar. Anyone have one of these bags and are you happy with it? Any photos (especially of how it's mounted)?

I have no affiliation with any of these companies.

Thanks!

I am not sure about any of these but I have a backpack from harley that just slides over the backrest. It may too big for you, but is very convenient and can hold quite a bit, plus it came with a rain cover.

Looks like a T-Bag sort of configuration where there is a slot for the sissy bar to fit into that the bag slides downward onto the sissy bar. All look pretty good. The first example looks the cleanest to me.

I'd opt for this one before any of those you mentioned...

Have you checked the round bag by biker's friend?

Well, turns out I'm not going with any of those and went with this one by Tourmaster: http://www.leatherup.com/p/Motorcycl...ets/61467.html

It's a little bigger than i originally wanted, but I think it'll look good on my Fatboy and give me enough storage to keep my ipad, a leather vest and other stuff. Supposed to be easy on, easy off, so I can take it with me when I park the bike. Will try to post pictures when I get it.

Thanks!
