Here's one very similar to the one I saw in the dealer store except the leather was much more rigid. Other than that, it looked almost like this. I guess, if nothing else, I could tie it on using the leather strings hanging off of it.

I had one on my risers, but didn't like how it rubbed the chrome. Looking for one that I can hook to the frame just below the voltage regulator, maybe between the highway bar mounts? With the WG rake, think there is enough room to allow it to fit withour the front fender or wheel hitting it. Know it the lid will have to seal tight to keep the road grime from getting inside of it.

I don't know if there is a third type for frame mounting or if people are taking fork bags and putting them down there.

I mounted my bag down low and it essentially disappears from view as it's not right in your face like it would be if mounted on the forks or risers. You can see what I mean in the pic attached.

The bag looks and works great down there. It appears you have the more rigid type of bag and that is what I was thinking would be better down there on the lower frame like that.
I actually want mine up top for a reason though. When I changed to t-bars, I needed 8" risers to get my hands where I wanted them due to my height (6'4" and long torso).I love the bars but don't really like the long risers showingand so I was looking for something to break up those long risers. I went out and test fitted the new bag before wrapping them up and it does just what I want it to. I wanted/needed a small bag anyway to put some things in when riding without my roll bag but didn't want to strap my big ole roll bag up front. So, I killed 2 birds so to speak by getting something I could use and by making it work and look like i wanted.

First off, let me say - great looking scoot!

The bag I have is in fact a "rigid soft" leather if that makes sense. It holds it's form and doesn't look or get all droopy like some bags do which I think is what you were after too. I understand your reasoning behind wanting it mounted on the risers and I would do the same if that's what I wanted. I've often thought of relocating mine up there as it would be easier to get into but I guess I just like mine down low for the reason I stated previously.
Hope the "surprise" is genuine come the 25th!

Thanks for the thumbs up.

If you don't want to block the chrome up top mount it where I did, behind the passenger peg and right below the shock.
