Default windshield bag

I've been using a Kuryakyn Windshield bag for 4 or 5 years
& now I want something different . I don't want velcro closures .

Old t-shirts. Why on earth spend on a fancy bag for wind screens? You carrying them around with you or something? Man, HD and all the accessory vendors must love you.

I am looking at the one from HD, Seems way better than the crappy old one I have now with velcro. I think the new ones have magnet closure

I've looked at that one also . Looking for it cheaper at Surdyke or
Boardtracker before I go to a dealer . I use mine a lot & velcro is
not the way to go . Keeps things within reach without stopping .

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.

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.

I have this one for my 08. The magnets are really nice. The main picket fits my gloves and the right (on seat) holds my vest extenders. Great quality, easy to install.

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.
