River Road makes one. I think what your are looking for is the 8 inch one. Just go to their site and check it out.

Oh and I think they actually call it a tool bag, but not sure.

I have a small leather bag mounted on the sissybar of my 1200C to carry a few little odds and ends.

As others have mentioned it's actually called a small 'tool bag' and they can be purchased just about anywhere.

The local HD stealer has 2 different sizes if you feel like paying $30 for a $12 bag.

something tells me that you gotta be a bit careful with bags on the front of our bikes- you will prob be o.k. since you want a small bag.
my memory is telling me that there could be an overheating prob if the bag is too large cause it interupts the air flow over the engine (for cooling)- it is also possible that my memory is all wet !!

I have the smaller HD one. It fits like a glove under the headlight.

Really?! I hope you didn't buy any $12 shirts from Harley for $30 LOL!
