lol...I thought you meant something like this NVM, carry on
LOL . Man I wanted to say something smart about your 1st post ,
but I couldn't figure out what the crap you were talking about . I
looked at your link & still don't know what that is .
The one I have is made by Tourmaster. 3 pouches and it fits behind the short windshield that I have. I think I paid 75.00 for it. I like it. It has magnetic closures on it.
The Tourmaster looks like the Kuryakyn bag I have .
It's been an ok bag , but not very tough . I've repaired
it a couple of times . It doesn't hold it's shape very well
either .
The HD one is the best one I could find. I didn't want velcro either, or some cheap clasps.... Its $100 but works well. A normal sized cell phone fits nicely in the middle pocket...but bigger ones do not.
The 2 side pockets are kind tiny.....not that great for anything- loose change, sunblock stick etc.....maybe a garage door opener?
NOW.....I also found if you buy little felt sticky circles (at Lowes or HDepot, or a craft store) you can stick them on the back when mounting so the bag doesn't rub on the inner fairing etc.
Anyway, when cleaning the bike last year I did take it off....may put it back on before a big trip this summer.
I believe this is the one I'll try . I use the right pocket for
a garage door opener . I keep mints , riding directions if
on a trip & glass cleaner in the center . The left is there if
needed . I can't ride without one . I take it off & clean it
every time I clean the bike . I will remember the felt pads
for the underside . Good tip . Thanks .
I am going through the same thing right now. I have the Harley 3 pouch bag. As already stated the two end bags are kind of useless. I keep my Harley key fob and reading glasses in there and keep the center bag for my wallet and used to be my phone. I do like the magnets as opposed to anything else. Makes it easier to access when I am riding and need to get into the bags. The Harley bags are $$ though in my opinion. The Willie Max (sp?) bags are nice and roomy. Not sure if they are magnetic or not.
I like the looks of the Willie & Max bag , but I
believe it has velcro closures . I hate velcro .
If it wasn't for the velcro I'd probably try it .
At one time I thought I wanted windshield bag set....but I changed my mind because I realized that since there's no way to "lock" the compartments I'd risk whatever I left in them when I walked away. If I forgot and left my phone, glasses, tollway transponder etc etc.......I could run the risk of them "disappearing". So until (if ever) someone comes out with locking bags, I'll take a pass and continue to use my lockable trunk or saddle bags.

I believe the Saddlemen bag can be locked
with the small luggage padlocks . I make sure
I leave nothing in mine that can't be replaced .
Does anyone know if there is a windshield bag out there that would fit an iPhone 8X for a 2013 FLHTCU ? Would have to be 4”X7” opening for this phone to fit.
