Tool pouch location...need some opinions.
Ok, if 25 years of riding have taught me anything, its that you should always bring along tools on a road trip. Sockets, allens, screwdrivers, adjustable wrench, electrical tape, zip ties, etc.
That said, I spent the better part of the afternoon trying to find a place to hang this leather tool pouch on my bike. I wanted to hang it under the headlight but just couldn't keep it from resting on the front fender.
I also tried the frame downtubes but it was too bulky, and more importantly, it blocked airflow to the front cylinder.
So, in the end I chose the location seen in the pics. I just can't decide if it works for me or not.
Also, I'm aware that I could carry tools in my saddlebags, but I'm trying to conserve that space, dedicating it to clothing and items for 2-up road trips. And, I have a windshield bag too, but that is used for small items like glasses and gloves. Also, I take the windshield off most of the time for around town riding.
So, what do you guys think?

Yeah, I considered that, but there wouldn't be room when the detachable backrest, luggage rack, and tourpak are installed,

If I can't fix with that, I probably need a tow to a shop anyway.
