Question Fox Creek Leather windshield bag

Anyone have one? I have heard nothing but good stuff about their products and I was wondering how they fit on a RK windshield. I emailed them and they said
No drilling should be necessary. The metal piece is supposed to grip around the bar and bolt into place. This bag may not work on some bikes. It includes the metal bracket but does not include the bolt.
So I'm left wondering if it will fit well on the RK's winshield....... Anyone have one? Happy?

Thanks all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From the picture on their website, it looks just like the bag from HD. You use your existing center winshield bolt to fasten it to the windshield. That metal piece has a lip on the top and bottom that hugs your windshield strap to keep it level. Fit from HD was good and I'm sure Fox Creek would be at least equal to that.

I've looked at the expensive H-D version and it is of course a "made in China" leatherette crap. The leather from Fox creek is good stuff, I've seen their jackets. I wanted to to know how good it fit on the RK windshield. Thanks for the info.

Everything I have seen from Fox Creek is excellent quality. Another leather company that makes excellent leather products is Chillhowee who I believe is a forum sponsor.

I'm interested in this windshield bag too, I love their jacket and elkskin gloves that I have. Will be watching this thread as a windshield bag is on my short list of things I want to add to the bike...

Haven't seen this offered by Fox Creekm but I'd go ahead and buy it and ask if it doesn't fit if you can return it. They have very good customer service.

I looked at the bag on the FC website and it mounts the same as the HD bag. I'd compare the dimensions and if they're the same or close it should be fine. I have the HD one and works great, but not the quality of the FC one.

I have one on my RKC, and it's a perfect fit and ultra high-quality. Doesn't get much better than Fox Creek.
