Default Really want a saddle bag, side mount or handle bar

I just can't find one that I want. I really want a side mount, but I have Samson longtails, and I cant find one that would work with them. Sometimes I think I would like one on the bars, but I don't want it to take away from the look of the front end of my bike either.

Please help me with my indecisiveness.

Thanks

I'm like you. I want/need the storage, but refuse to hang all that crap on my bike!

I got the side mount solo bag and a good back pack should I need to carry more.

Bags I'd consider, though, are the old springer style sloped sided saddlebags. They look good on a low softail.

Quick detach bags,

These come off fast so you only use them when you need them. I hate having lots of crap on my bike too

I think hard bags would look awesome on your bike.

I really just want something small so I can keep my gloves, glasses and things of that sort. I've been looking at a garage leathers bag for a while, but just haven't pulled the trigger. If the side mount fit with the Samson's, I would of already bought it.

Here ya go. $20 from amazon. I'll scare up a link, but check out fork bags. Very thick leather. Just drill a couple holes for Ty-raps.

You could put a leather tool roll low down on your down tubes. That wouldn't wreck the look of the bike and would give you some space. You could add a kidney shaped tool box on the right side either, you could carry a few bits in there too.

Get a Chrome tool box thingy like I have on mine. I use it for tools but it'll work for that stuff.
