Small Tool Bag
I have a 2012 Iron 883 and im looking for a little bag to carry a rotor lock and maybe a screwdriver but hate the look of a bag on my bike. Any ideas of real small bags and where to hide them? Thanks

Try Fox Creek leather I have purchased several items all very good quality and made in USA. Got a small fork bag a few years ago from them but needed something bigger to hold shades cigars gloves and a few tools,got bigger fork bag there as well.

I bought this tool bag in one of my local indy shops...it's made by "The Leatherworks" - model #100 - cost: $74.00 - the dimensions are 5"x10"x5" so it's not too small and it's not too large:

This bag is made from very heavy leather and is built like a brick $hithouse. I thought the two real Buffalo head nickel strap rivets were just a nice touch.
The problem with tool bags on a bike is that they're like tool bags in your home; the bigger they are the more $hit you try to stuff in them, and before you know it they weigh a ton or they're ready to bust at the seams. And that's why I went with the smaller bag.
I use mine to store my insurance card and a set each of flip out allens and torx. 'Still looking for the right mini set of screwdrivers/wrenches to add to the mix along with some other items like wire, electrical tape, zip ties, etc., which I'm going to add to a "tool roll" type thingie for easy storage and ease of access.
My La Rosa swingarm bag on the other hand is not used for tools but is reserved for clothing and other stuff.

I'm not sure what state requires bikes to have charcoal emission canister, but my CA bike I removed it, it's a big plastic tube under the swing arm. I'm thinking of maybe sticking a tool bag under down there if I can find one not too huge.
I don't like bags either. I even just took off my solo bag last week. If it works it will be nice and tucked away
