Check out the camera department at Best Buy or Walmart and lookin into the various small bags they have. You should be able to come up with something quick, cheap and easy.

You could probably pick up any kind of bag large enough to do what you want and have an upholstery shop install a couple of snaps on the backrest and the bag.

ebay has TONS of bags like that for dirt cheap that will attach to your sissy bar/backrest and do what you need. I'm about to order one from there.

thanks guys, I was exploring attatching the bag to the spring loaded pin that adjusts the elevation. but the snaps may be a better option.

How about getting a set of those bags that attach to the rear crash bars just in front of the saddle bags? I bought a set on Craigslist for $50 that looked brand new. They will hold all sorts of small items and you won't have to worry about the bag being in the way when Momma gets on/off your scooter.

Carlgrover, i have been looking at those and came real close to buying last month. She loves to take pictures with her little instamatic camera and felt it would be easier acess if it was directly in front of her, looking to replace the crown royal bag that we use now.
