Default Where do you store your sunglasses?

I don’t like the expensive 3 pouches solution. Too bulky for me.
right now I use the saddle gab to put my glasses and gloves but it’s not convenient. When traveling the bag is full and it’s hard to find the things I need to ride.
What do you use?

Left saddle gab.

Yes, gab, because apparently that is the de rigueur language for this

Downtube bag. Registration, plug kit and clear safety glasses for night riding in there as well.

I use to have one of these saddle gab trays, but I keep a fitted liner in my saddle gabs now. I change it out now-and-then. When I have my lower fairings on I use the lockable glove boxes to store stuff, including my shades.

You could also change out the saddle gab tethers and get these.

If you have saddle gab guards you could get one of these gabs.
