Crash Bar Bags?

[jasperboy]

Anyone ever find bags to fit on the rear crash bar bags directly in front of the Nomad hard bags? I've seen HD version that holds a water bottle but it won't fit ours. I've installed a small windshield size tool bag on my right side to hold a cell phone, but i'd like something a little larger to hold a bang-bang. I'm thinking something similar to the Sagebrush guards with pockets, just designed for the rear crash bars.

Anyone?

I've seen some a few years back, so someone makes or made them. I'll try to find something for you.

PS. Well, s**t, I should have checked their web site before posting. Looks like they are no longer in business. Bummer.

PH Customs do make bag chaps with an optional pocket on the front side of the bag (but I doubt it's big enough for your bang bang). But that is not really what you are looking for.

I know I've seen a few things before. Have you checked Gadget's site? There may be something on there.

Thanks for the link, even if they are not made anymore, I'm designing/making my own and that gives me a few more ideas to work with. Was going to just do the leather wrap on the bars, like my front bars, but the helmet locks are a pain to design around for that. Will build in a bottle holder and a pouch instead.

Yep, not the prettiest things on earth that's for sure!
They might make good trampolines for road debris heading towards the front of the bags though. 8)

Yup those would do it and the 6"x6"x1 1/2" pocket should accommodate my bang bang nicely.

Just looking for a way to transport "concealed" but more readily available then keeping it in the saddlebag.

If you need it, you'll need it quickly.

Quickly is right! Can't ask the bad guy to wait until you get into a saddle bag.

I wasn't thinking about concealment when I bought a set of these without pockets. Think I'll try adding some pockets and see how they work out for concealment. One thing about the chaps, keep sufficient clearance between them and the bags or they WILL rub the paint off. Don't ask how I know! 8(

They were bought originally to help with the bug swarms around here during the evening in Spring. (can be really really bad) Bug problem was eliminated when I installing hard lowers and now those flying critters stay off my legs to.
