I have a fork bag mounted on my left side swing arm.....I will see if I can get a picture of it soon.....if you are interested let me know.....in reply to your question it is a 9' bag and I used 2 zip ties to hold it in place....perfect size for my goggles and a rag I use for filling the tank and a pair of sunglasses.
