Default small sissy bar bag for 48 (Forty Eight)

Looking for suggestion for a smaller sissy bar for my 48. Something to hold a baseball cap and really nothing more. Not looking for an overnighter or anything that big.

Sissy bar I have:



Thanks for any suggestions.

Anyone have either the Willie & Max Black Jack bag or the Mini Sissy Bar bag?

Went with the Biltwell Exfil 7. Seems to be a good "fit" for the 48. Running with it tomorrow... @ Biketoberfest.

The strap that is in the picture on the passenger seat it perfect for holding a hat. you slide the bill under that strap and you are good to go. I have risen over 100mi with it like that on my 48 and did it all the time on my GSX-R
