Default How do you prefer to attach your handlebar/fork bag?

I put my fork bag up high, off the handlebar, behind my windshield for easy access. But the straps tieing it on don't necessarily look the best. Any other ideas/options for attaching these? Maybe some way that will look cleaner?

I like to use zip ties . There hard to see and strong. I cut em off and put new ones on when I take the bag on and off .

I couldn't find anywhere up top that I liked the look either so I ended up putting mine on the frame down low. Havnt had any problems with it down there other than having to bend my stiff *** down low to get to it.

That's where I mount my toolbag.

When I had mine on the forks I made a bracket and hard mounted it to the headlight bolt under the triple tree. I have since moved it down on the frame like above.

I've had mine under the bars above the headlight (SIG PIC), thats where it is now (untill i get my apes on, that may change). But i've also had it just under the headlight (which is where it may go after the apes are done).

Another option is on the left side of the bike, rear swing arm, i've seen some mounted there and i liked it.

I saw a sweet little tool bag the other day at a new/used HD parts store that was designed to mount to the frame downtubes. It had a solid backing plate with molds to fit right on the tubes. I would've bought it but it won't fit with my TrueTrack
