Well, check out Ratboy's thread, you have to make your own little bracket, less than 15.00 in parts and about a 30 minute job, if you can build a Lego set you can do this, I did and I'm like a robo-tard with tools in my hands

I ordered a tool bag from eBay that came with Velcro straps and it works great! I ride double a lot too.

Here's a pic of mine. It's a Willie & Max swingarm bag. Here's the link: http://www.willieandmax.com/Store/T...xtSearch/swingarm/ProductID/1004/Default.aspx

I bought this one and one from Viking. I liked this one alot better, and returned the one from Viking. I just attached it with some heavy duty zip ties. I only use it for light stuff. Water bottle, Kick stand plate, etc.
Is it waterproof at all. I would like one just big enough to carry my frogg toggs and my registration paperwork in.

I haven't seen this question posed yet here so I'll ask!

Mounting to the swingarm means you're mounting to a part of the bike that is not "Suspended" and is at the mercy of a rough road.
Doesn't the ride beat the snot out of the contents of the bag?
I doubt this would be a good place to stuff a phone or anything semi fragile right?
Or does the tire suck up enough of the harsh hits that would break anything?

My bag is mounted to the passenger peg bracket and is only held to the swing arm with a bungee cord. That allows the swing arm to move freely but keeps the bag from flapping in the wind. Doesn't really take that much of a beating. I wouldn't put my phone in there because that is where I keep my tool bag, clear riding glasses, zip ties and a monster or water and baseball hat. I'm telling you that bag is awesome lol.

Good point! I only put things in the that I'm not really concerned about shaking up. Kickstand pad, gloves, sunblock, clear lens glasses for night, etc.

Just can't put your condoms and razor blades in the same bag!

Mines attached to the peg bracket, not the actual swingarm. I put a metal backer inside to firm it up, no shaking in the wind. It stays pretty dry inside and I've carried lunch or a a 2 liter in it.
