Just a quick question? Where does everyone keep there insurance and registration with tem while riding? I'm looking at getting one or two of those "cigar" tubes for the front frame. What do you think about those? I currently do not have any storage on the bike.
Side question, how do you add a pic of your bike to your signature?
i got a nice leather harley jacket with a good size inside pocket. I put my insurance and registration papers inside a ziplock baggy, and then inside the pocket, and always wear the jacket while riding. This was advice I got from another harley rider.
I should probably put photocopies in the bag and keep the real papers in the house in the event the jacket goes missing.
as for signature pic, I'm sure you just embed a picture into your signature section when you edit your profile. but I haven't done it yet.
I've been keeping it in my jacket too. That was my issue if someone leaves with my jacket by mistake they now have my papers, but whats the chance of that... Thanks for the advice.
A photocopy of my registration and my insurance card are in a zip-lock bag in my windshield bag. I leave it on the bike. It's not like it's a title or anything, so I don't feel too uncomfortable leaving them on the bike. The bike is indoors at night and I work in a safe area. If I wore the same jacket every time I rode, I'd probably keep it in there, but I switch between jacket and vest.
I've seen those chrome tubes in the HD catalog. They look like a great option, but the price on them seems high, even for the HD catalog.
Those, along with wallet and cellphone, go in a cheap leather fork bag I got on Ebay. Don't like to sit on my wallet in a car or on the bike - back issues. Don't need the cellphone anytime the motor's running so it's the perfect place for it.
