I really like loading the bike down and heading out with a girl for the weekend. When I bought my Fatboy, I really didnt think things threw. On the right side I have up swept pipes, and on the left I have my license plate bracket. I just bought the LaRosa swing arm bag for the left side, but it really doesnt fit with the plate bracket. I bought a detachable luggage rack (made me sick to see how much that set up cost) but that would only be for the big trips. I would like to have some general around town storage as well. Anyone have any other storage idea.

 

Chromed or I am sure in your case blacked out side tear drop tool box's. I have quick detach hard bags if I want to take off but I ride solo 90% of the time. I also have the rack in back too. I got a small bar bag and I have chromed tear drop tool box's ordered for mine, both the left and right side's. I know you can't put like coats and stuff in them but you would be suprised what you can get in them. Glass's, purse, few tools, a set of plugs, hats, gloves and so on. Good luck!!

 

Do you have a backrest?

That tool box does look like a good option. Im defiantly going to look into that.

 

Have you thought about a back pack?

 

Use a Sissy Bar for the OL. Put the luggage rack on there. Get a Teabag or Kuryakyn. Call it good.

 

Kuryakyn Windshield bag

 

I use a Courier bag for around town. It hangs behind you and rests on the seat.

This one would keep off the tailgaters:

 

I use a handle bar bag. I think its called a switchback, made by t-bags. It sits on the headlight and straps to the bars. It's large enough for to six packs of talls

 

Sort of sucks sometime to have to think 3-4 mods ahead each time at times. It's another reason I don't have pipes that require the removal of passenger footpegs. Personally, I thought about the hard tool box for the side on my bike, but it appears that it would interfere with the mounts for my saddlebags. Eventually, I opted for a small tool bag above the headlight which I can still leave on when using the windshield and windshield bag. At one time I had a larger one above the headlight but that didn't last long.
