Default Document storage on Nightster 07

Hi would like to keep the bike registration paper and I have so far not been able to find a tiny storage space I could use.

Anyone know of a storage space on the Nightster where I could store the bike papers?

I do need to have access to it without tools when needed

Thanks

Fork bag may be best.
Some put in a baggy and place behind the left side cover (where the fuse box is).

They make tubes that attach to the license plate bracket or from the frame's front down tubes.
There are also bags that attach to the swingarm.

Thanks. I will avoid the external bags.

The fuse box sounds promising, will explore that. I want to be able to get to the document though so should not need tools.

I am actually wondering if taking a picture of the document and keeping it in my phone will work. Anyone knows if keeping a soft copy of the documents work?

Thanks Kenny94945 the fuse box worked perfectly. Just enough to put the papers and also easy to access if needed.

Varies by state. Even though many insurance companies provide electronic proof of insurance, NJ still requires physical paper for insurance and registration with the vehicle.
