so, i know i can do saddlebags or a fork bag... but i just cant do it. im too young (40) for saddlebags... it just doesnt fit the style i want from the bike.
that being said: i need some freaking storage! anything! i came to harleys from street bikes... had an fzr, yzf, fz, (yes, all yamahas) and have always been used to having at least a little bubby hole to throw some night goggles or a wrench or something. this breakout is the first bike ive owned that has nothing (at least that i know of).
so... is there any hidden storage that exists, or i could create on this thing?
ha. man I'm 32 and will absolutely roll with saddlebags. maybe you're in denial?? jk
you could do a swingarm solo bag. or just roll with the always trusty backpack.
Harley's don't have hidden compartments because they are open frames.
You might be able to get the toolbox, not sure if it fits the breakout??

thats an idea i hadnt thought of! doesnt look like it fits (according to harley at least), but i might be able to fabricate something.
Like JRuss said, a solo swingarm bag could be a good way to go. They are not too big and since they are down by your swingarm, they leave the seat area and fender struts looking clean. We make a hard mount kit for solo bags so that you don't have to mess around with straps or tie wraps and it stays solidly mounted to your bike so you can carry more gear in it without it drooping down.
