Ram mount off the left clutch, or sometimes use the U-bolt option.

Yep, they work fine together. I saw a single pouch on eBay pretty cheap, but it wasn't real leather. I got mine from Fox Creek, but Boss Bags also makes a very nice one, but it's more expensive.

I wear glasses and switch to prescription sunglasses for riding, so the bag is a must have item for me.

I have the fairing mount on my '09 Ultra and the HD two bag windshield bag.

I just mounted the bags off center so the left one is in the center of the dash and the other is to the right. I had no issuses mounting the bags.

How about mounting it on the fuel tank access door?


http://www.kuryakyn.com/index.cfm/go...ID/26/IMID/919

Mine is mounted on the right hand switch housing. I really don't see a problem with my speaker, and I can see all of my guages with no issues. Ifyou do mount on the left, Zumo has a built in fuel gauge feature that only works when mounted on the bike. Just set how many miles you average on a tank, and reset when you fuel up. It'll give you a warning on the screen, and if you touch the warning icon, it pulls up the nearest stations.

Mounted mine with the U bolt on the left side. I can see the gauges just fine. Not concerned about blocking the speaker, dont really look at it.
No issues with sound performance that I can tell.

This allows me to keep the 3 pouch windshield bag.
