I have played around with this idea today and this is what I did. It doesn't have zipper pocket, because I just can't find long brass zippers in this short time. We live in the boonies here in TN, and we can't get everything easy. I have to shop online somewhere.
But this thing is 20 inches across, which I measured in Larry's saddlebag. I don't know how to close this yet other than with a tie. I thought about Velcro too, but that is tricky, because depending on how much stuff people put in there, I have to sew the Velcro in different places. It has pockets on both sides and 2 elastic straps to keep the tools in place. But I will kick this around a little longer and keep you posted.

Hi Isabel
Fenderguy53's idea and mine are about the same about it being folded not rolled and I think laying in the bottom of the bag the full length could make it possible to put two rows of tool pockets lengthwise running from the front to the rear of the bag. I think this would make it lay flatter.
The Red Sled is just saying "Come on Christmas" and I have gotten tons of compliments on your work.

You have the idea down except for one thing, the length is perfect but I was thinking about it being like a trifold wallet and that way it would lay pretty flat in the bottom of the saddlebag. I love the way you put the elastic strap, my spark plug socket is always falling out of my POS HD roll. Oh yea and different size pockets would be great that way we could stuff it custom, as far as the zipper pocket maybe sell the as a separate item or include them but not attach them, just a thought.

Isabel now that you have so many suggestions as to what to build i have one more! How bout a pouch that is the same size as the bottom of the tour pack. It would hold twice as many tools and wouldnt restrict the use of saddlebag luggage on long trips. Lord knows i can barely close my lid as it is. If i add a larger tool pouch than the stock one the wife would have to leave a pair of shoes at home!

Please look at my post #70. That one can lay flat instead of being rolled up. So that's a start.
@SantaJim
The #70 version can be expanded with another layer. Right now it double folds in the bottom of the saddlebags, but I can add another layer and make it 3. That might also give me room for the zipper pocket. I'll work on it later today.
GUYS, YOU SURE DON'T GIVE ME DAY OFF!!!!...

Ain't that the truth! I had to open it one time to fix something on the wife's scooter. Took me an hour after getting home to get it tightened down enough so things quit falling out. It's in the saddlebag again, but never plan on opening it again.
