Default Relocate my fork bag w/picture

I got my fork bag a week ago, it was mounted above the headlight but I didn't like it. I am sitting here doing nothing this morning, I said what the heck, let's do something. I relocate it behind the rear seat. Here is how I do it, easy mod. I measure the length between the fork bag mounting ears, cut a thin metal piece, drill a hole right in the middle, slide it through the mounting ears. I use the seat mounting nut for the fork bag, it sits right above it. The funny thing is, when I sit on the bike now, my employee said it looks like I carry a fork bag on my waist. Alex

It's gonna do a number on your paint job.

Ooops....Forgot to mention, the bottom of the bag isn't touching the fender, the clearance is about 1/2+ inch, the only contact is the middle mounting bolt.

Thanks, but I'm thinkin with the seat Modified like it is, it's wide enough for the bag to actually be resting sorta on the slope of the seat?????????
