I have seen some of you have fork bags and/or handlebar bags. I am looking for something to be able to carry some small items in. I am still up in the air about saddle bags, part because the look, part because of money. What is a good small bag that will fit on the Stryker bars or forks? Thank you all for your help. Love this forum!

You might consider a swing arm bag. I'm no fan of saddlebags myself and opted for the single swing arm style after seeing Ratboy's pics a while back. You can see the same bag on Strykenshane's bike if I'm not mistaken.

I saw that, and I do like the look. I am concerned it will be in the way of the passenger foot peg.

I know some of you have these on your Strykers. Just looking for measurements, or any informations on what works. Thank you. Maybe I can just try a few for fitment from a local shop.

I had this one on my bike I had it mounted under the headlight and mounted it on the handlebars above the key when I put on my 22 inch windshield and both locations it worked great. The mounting straps that came with it was alittle pain to use so i just used black zip ties to mount it.

I took it off acouple of months ago and set it some where in the garage after taking off the windshield and have misplaced it and can't find it. I will be ordering another one soon.

That looks pretty good. Not too expensive either.

I like the looks of this bag. My only concern is the front fender smashing into it. the bag is 6” high which only leaves about an inch or so of clearance under there, so when the forks are compressed, crunch. I’d be worried about the paint on the fender. Stryker did you have any problems with the bag hitting?

 

[chris]

its the size of a regular bag its about a inch or so from the fender when mounted I never had problems with it hitting the fender if it did it would only be during hard braking and wouldn't hurt the fender unless you had a brick in it.

 

[sdsting]

cool. thnx for the feeback

its the size of a regular bag its about 2 inches or so from the fender when mounted I never had problems with it hitting the fender if it did it would only be during really hard braking and wouldn't hurt the fender unless you had a brick in it.

I bought a bag that was about the same dimensions, and it seemed to hit the fender rather easy. I could hold the front brake and gently rock it, and it hit between the fender and headlight rather easy. I will have to think about what I would want to carry in it, was thinking about my coffee thermos. That might be too hard, and cause damage. More research is needed...

Fork bag you don't have to lean down

Actually mine and Ratboy's bag appear to be a little bigger than this one you have

This bag came from Side Road Customs

I really like this Ratboy's bag ... my finger is on the "Add to shopping cart" button for like 6 weeks now. Sooner or later I will click...

I just installed this saddle men fork bag on my swing arm. I was hoping it would fit under the headlight but it was too big and with the fairing i couldn't mount it up high because of the three pouch bag. So I started looking where else I could put it and viola! Swingarm. Holds all my tools and blends in pretty good I think.

Looks great Raven

That doesn't look bad. I returned the one that was too tall for my forks, might of worked there. I ordered one on line, it says it is 4" tall. I am hoping that one will fit on the forks, bur if not, I will try the swing arm. Did you modify the straps?

I would like a nice leather bag for the back of my sissy bar. Thought it would look good and hide the bolts. Any ideas? ???

A couple of us have the Grand Tour Mini on the back, Small yet roomy and expands if you need it to.

Let me know how that 4 inch works....I just need a bag to hold a bottle of water, and a clear pair of glasses incase I am out at night, and sunglasses won't do anymore..
