Adding Windshield Tool Pouch

[MikesVulcan]

I recently bought an '09 Nomad VN1700 and also bought a tool pouch which is suppose to mount above the bars on the inside of the shield. The only problem is that the tool pouch would sit too low on the shield and I wouldn't be able to open the flaps. Has anyone mounted a leather tool pouch on the inside of their Nomad? I was thinking about raising it up about 4 or 5 inches and cutting 1" notches in the shield 6 inches or so apart so I can use the leather mounting straps by threading them through the slots and through the pouch to hold it in place.

Any thoughts about "dremmeling/cutting" slots into the windshield, or any other ideas?

Thanks.

Mike
