Cheap tool bag

[juggler]

I just picked up the Plain Jane leather tool pouch from Carolina Leather Works [http://www.carolinaleatherworks.com]. I just mounted the bag to the from of my bike. It attaches right to the crosbar for the highway lights.

 

This is the tool pouch, it's only $19.95+5.95s&h. I ordered it Sunday and I put in on the bike Thursday. I think I'll dress it up a bit with a Yamaha Star Concho. My tools (2 cresent wrenches, 1 3/8 ratchet, 2 metric hex key sets, 1 metric ratchet set, 2 philips screw drivers, 1 driver with 2 dozen bits) all fit snuggly. They won't be rattling around up there.

 

This tool pouch will give me back some room in my saddle bag.

Anyone here ever try an EZPass in a fork toolbag? I think it'd be a perfect place for it to be placed. But will it work in there?

Juggler,

With the bag attached to the front light bar, does in hit the fender when the shocks move up down? Would like to move my tool kit but was afraid of the possibility of hitting the fender.

Here is an easy way to test that. Mount the bag and then tie a string between the forks at the bottom of the bag, then remove the bag. Now coat the string with snap-line chalk, toothpaste, grease, or some other substance that will come off if contacted, then go for a test ride with 0 air in your forks and slam into a couple of pot holes (or speed bumps). If there is some of the gunk on your fender, it ain't safe!

The tool pouch is small enough to prevent hitting the fender. (I think) I didn't actually test, but it is about 6 inches above the fender now. I've only driven once with it on (this morning to work). I'll have to give it a full test later to make sure.

OK, I checked - the tool pouch will not hit the fender. If it did there would be other serious damage that I would be much more concerned about.

I once had thought I lost the ezpass, it was really under the seat in my car. I went ot pay at a tool booth and the collector said my ezpass had paid already.
