Default Handlebar Bag for Slim
I am looking for a small bag to put sunglasses and earplugs in. I like the look of the handlebar/tool roll bags I see but don't know a recommended manufacturer.

I also like the single swing arm bags, but they look cumbersome to take off.

What do you guys do when you wash the bike? Can these things get wet?

Where do I look? My dealer only carries Harley stuff, so no real options there.

I take my Leatherworks tool bag off when washing my bike, but just cover the seat, solo bag, and AC with a kitchen plastic trash bag.

You just get the swingarm bag wet. It's fine.

You can order online if you don't want a Harley bag. Better value and cooler bags, IHMO.
