Hi All - I'm always worried about my cell and wallet falling out of my work pants on the way to work. Any recommendations for a small compact bag or pouch that I can mount somewhere to my bike? I'd prefer that it not stand out or be all that visible even. Just want to tuck it away somewhere for the limited purpose of holding my cell and wallet. Thanks!

 

We make this guardrail bag which is sewn on a strap .. Check out the size of the bag to see if it will work for you .. We can figure out a way to mount it somewhere if it works.. Just let us know .. https://shop.captain-itch.com/Guardr...rdrail-Bag.htm

 

You're talking about a Sportster supposedly. Not many places to hide something on a Sportster so that it'll be inconspicuous. Things that come to mind....

Fork tool bag
Small swing arm bag
Maybe a bag like the Viking Solo Bag...

Or maybe a small tank bag like this...


Or others that they offer...

I actually use the Daytona bag pictured... I also put this in the bag to power the phone...

I plug that into my coax battery pig tail on the left side of the bike (unless I'm plugging in my heated gear - then the phone has to suffer).

One thing about tank bags... They'll screw up your paint in time. I use a piece of 3M Scotchgard PRO Series Clear Paint Protection Film on the area of the tank that holds the tank bag. You don't really see it and the tank stays protected.

Do you have a windshield?

I ziptied this small canvas bag inside the windshield. It carries small stuff too big for a pocket. The tint in the bottom half of the windshield hides it a little. Would I walk away and leave anything in it? nope. It's also not waterproof. It comes off with the windshield.

 

Thanks so much for all the replies! I ended up getting a side arm bag from the classifieds here. Figured the extra space would be nice and as others pointed out it's hard to really have anything that stealthy on the sportster.

 

I can't believe I'm reading this! There are plenty of simple 'holsters' around to fit on your belt, to take a phone. Amazon, Ebay, any cell phone shop.....

Mine carries my phone horizontal, similar to this:

I have two saddlebag from these guys & they're spectacular. Yes, it's Italian (overseas) so wait time is a bit lengthy, but you pay for quality. I can't find another custom bag I'd buy, after finding this custom crafter.

 

Cargo pants or a small fanny pack, keep your **** on you not the bike.
