I had this bag mounted onto the foot control bar and yes, they get a hard time down there... So... Quote:
I was thinking I would make a homeade bracket to come off of the 2 extra holes in the lower triple tree and the headlight bracket hole. Use these to attach a bracket (kind of like the "Bag It" bracket, so the tool bag can bolt to it. This would hold it securely and keep it off of the forks. If made right it would look pretty cool also. Probably a nice laced flat bag would work nicely. It's hard when your trying to make the bike look simple and clean to have anything extra on it.
This is exactly what I did, the bracket keeps the bag off your shrouds or in my case gaitors and also has aftermarket indicators mounts on it... A couple of chrome acorn nuts on the 2 bolts coming thru the triple trees... This pic gives you the idea of what it could look like, I cut 2 slots in it for the straps to go thru and a little bend near the bottom to hold bag a bit...
