I originally had my tool bag mounted on the front forks, but after seeing what some others had done, I moved it to the bike frame. It is mounted with 2 1" velcro strips to the vertical frame bars tightly so that the bottom sits on the top parallel horizontal frame bar. It's just above any spray from the front tire. It actually sits with the bottom higher than the front fender. It shows off the raked forks better (also didn't want to cover up the chrome) and works extremely well.
