I think that's a perfect spot for it..... but ONLY when loaded down on a trip.
otherwise I'd leave it off for everyday riding

 

Here is another idea, that I think is cleaner. I too wanted my tool pouch on the rear, but not taking up any room on the passenger seat or in the saddlebags. I also have a detachable backrest and luggage rack, so the mounting location had to accomodate that. Here is how I made it work. You won't be able to see all this detail from the (lower left, blow up the thumbnail) picture, but I basically replaced the 2 big lower bolts that hold the license plate frame to the tubular chrome fender rail with extra long bolts with spacer tubes (sorry don't remember the length, but experiment depending upon the depth of your toolkit). That basically moved the entire licence plate back far enought to 1) allow the toolbag to fit under the detachable backrest when it was on and 2) keep it from being forward so far that it contacted the fender. To hold the bag to the license plate bracket, I simply used the top 2 license plate bolts to go through holes I drilled in the toolbag. It works perfect in achieving both those things. A plus over your design is that it keeps it up away from road grime. (BTW, I happen to use a Windzone HD tool kit and it is mounted in a RiverRoad tool bag)

 

Yeah, I think that's probably where we're headed with it. Don't see me leaving it on there, but basically I'm starting to get ready for Daytona. Can you tell I've got the fever?

Thanks for the input y'all.

 

I think it looks great. Don't worrry about the fashon police. Be true to yourself.

 

Hey, that looks really sharp. Now you've given me an idea worth trying. Any chance for some close up pics??? I like that.

 

Sure. I will take some close-up pics over the weekend with it dismantled so that you can see how I did it. It is really simple and worry free. Since the bag is bolted to the license plate frame, it never moves.

 

I like bannana cream pie the best next i guess would be apple

 

looks good, I'd wrap the tools in a big zip lock to keep the moisture off.

 

What about the paint on the fender? Any way.
TOOLS? We don't need no stinking tools!
Those are for Knucks,Pans, and Shovels.
Sportys are another matter altogther.

 

Looks like a mini-tourpak

But good idea!
