Default tool bag/fork bag

Looking around for a good leather bag to use as a fork bag. I've been checking out the Lick's tool bag part LCC-Toolbag-B on their website. Does anyone know where this bag is designed to be mounted? I'm wanting to mount it as a fork bag or possibly even a second one on my sissy bar.
Anyone have pics of this tool bag on their bike?

Also been looking at the fork bag from Captain Itch...anyone have a pic of that on their bike?

Any other good options out there? I want to stick to actual leather & not synthetic.

I bought one from FoxCreek Leather. Check them out for real leather items.

+1 on Fox Creek Leather. I bought a tool bag from them and it is a good quality bag.

Say bye bye to the perfect paint finish of your front fender... Have seen too many used HD's with ruined front fender paint, with similarily installed fork bags....

I'm wanting something smaller (top to bottom) to ensure that it does not ever come into contact with the front fender. All this will be used for is some place to put my wallet, phone, skoal can & spare glasses while riding so I don't have all that chit in my pockets.

I have the 10" Tilly Bag from Garage Leathers tied around the fork tubes on my '11 FXDC just above the lower triple tree clamp. It sits in just under the headlight and looks great. I weigh 265 and there is no possible way, repeat, no possible way the forks could ever compress enough for it to come close to my front fender. Well, maybe, but if it did I would no longer be alive to worry about it.

It's a very nice bag and extremely well made. Plus Greg is a good guy to deal with. You might want to check it out.
