Default Fork Bag for Iron?
I'd like to mount a fork bag on my 2015 Iron 883. I want the top of the bag to sit below the headlight, but even the small bags I've looked at touch the tops of the gaiters slightly.

Will that be an issue, or not?

Or, alternatively, a small swingarm bag. That may, on second thought, make more sense.

Thoughts?

That's one of the reasons a swingarm bag would probably make more sense. :-)

I've got the tool roll for the front forks and a swing arm bag. I got them both from Rich Phillips.
