You need a trunk for your junk!

Unless you have an extended warranty, and don’t mind sitting by the side of the road for hours because of a simple repair, then you need to carry some essentials. Most motorcycles don’t have trunks, some don’t have saddle bags. If you don not want to become a scenic attraction, you really need a tool bag.

How much you pack is up to you. I ride allot by my lonesome, and carry over 5 pounds of tools, spare parts, and supplies. I have saddle bags, but have found putting all that stuff in them tends to make it hard to find what you need in a pinch.

A good bag mounted on your sissy bar is the perfect solution. Fox Creek Leather Made in the USA Heavy-Duty Sissy Bar Bag is both good looking, and functional.

Update. After many miles in snow, salt, rain, road yuck, and sun, this bag has held it’s shape, and looks great.
