Default windshield bag

Thinking of adding a windshield bag,probably a Fox Creek dash bag.
Does anyone use this bag?If so does it rub the windshield?I'm not
familiar with their products & I can't find any reviews on this bag.

I don't know anything about the bag - but if you are concerned about the windshield you can use 3M tape. Personally I never worry about it because by the time it looks bad it is usually time for a new one anyway because it is pitted and beat up from the other side.

+1 , You won't see the marking up the bag does to the windshield anyway.

I went with a T-bags cause it follows the contour of the dash. Sorry can't help you with Fox Creek, but I have heard good things.

Can't remember what bag brand mine is but the last 2 I bought were probably something along the lines of what you're looking at. I've got a Road King now,the other bike was a 92 Ultra Classic. I really would have liked the matching R K bag but at $90,I couldn't afford it. So...I bought a really decent one at a leather shop for around $25-30.It's thick leather and has the metal clasp.I bought a 95th. anniversary patch on ebay and had that sewn on for for 2 bucks.The inside of the bag has an 1 1/2 wide metal strip thats almost the length of the inside.I just removed my center windshield bolt,bought a chrome one a tad bit longer,put a washer inside the bag and an acorn nut.Everything stays in place and stay straight on the windshield.I've had the bag on for a year,just had the patch sewn on the other day.
With all the Harley patches and other patches out there,you can make yours look like a factory deal.
I'll take a pic of mine later and add to this post.

I have the same, looks awesome but the outer pouches are about useless i can barely reach the bottom of them, hand fitment issue.

I recently put one one mine.I have only been using the center pouch for my garge door opener.

The T-Bags bag still looks better than the HD bags.
