Default what three pocket fairing bags do you have?

looking at getting a three pocket fairing bag for the small stuff.. mainly my the cells phones as i've been using a kruzer kaddy for them.. it worked great but vibrates to pieces after a bit. that and it gets in the way at times..

and yes i've done a search... the majority rules..

i've listed three main ones and put a category in for misc...

so far the newer harley one is getting my attention..

i like the looks of the tbag but it's smaller and i can't find out if it's magnetic or velcro...

the newer harley is fairly room and magnetic.. easier to access and still do the job.

the saddlemen looks to be roomy but didn't find a lot of feedback on it and it's the half moon twist type closure i believe.. hard to undo with gloves?

I have the Harley magnetic 3 pouch bag. Left pouch is detachable if needed. I like it no complaints. Fits well with my LRS.

Another vote for the HD bag. Initially i had no real choice because i have a fairing mounted GPS mount so I needed the left bag to be detachable, but I really like it otherwise. Roomy and the magnetic closures stay closed.

T-bag triple pouch. Not a good choice. The outside pouches are not easy to get small things out of. They look better than they perform. The middle pouch is fine.

I have the Harley box style, not much for looks but it works excellent.

I have the tbags version and I like it. Yeah, tiny things sometimes get to the corners and are hard to get out, but its really not that bad. I think the HD ones look like ***. I went with the tbag for mainly that reason. Plus you can use the tbags version with the 4" windshield.

I have the HD magnetic one now but had the Tbag one on my old dresser. The HD one is much nicer and has leather that is softer, easier to open and close, and the magnets work great. The side bags don't hold my cigarettes or keychain though, they're too small (Tbags did). They do hold a garage door opener. I'm kinda torn, I wish the side bags held more. It's nice that it doesn't say "TBags" on it though. lol.

Do you have a pic of the fairing mount GPS? I wondered why only the left one was removable.
