Well... I have seen guys with fanny packs on so it is an legitimate question. Just say'n

OK.....if'n I didn't want to risk this challenge on my manliness.......Would it be better to adapt a Tool Belt?

On instead of a "Fanny Pack".....could I call it a "Utility Belt"?

Is there a patch that you could have attached that would make the Fanny Pack more manly? I have occasionally seen Fanny Packs that have been reporposed....with negative results. Like the little pack you get when you get contacts for the first time......or the care package from your Lasik.......or the dental whitening kit......

Somehow Ive made it to dang near 60 years old & Ive never actually needed one. I Have known a guy, a friends brother, who wore 2 of them, but, it was okay, because of his job, 24 hour call, he mite have to go to an airport & be hauled to God only knows where in th world, He did the Ground Based part of satellite maintenance. Dude was a Serious Geek,,

I was the right age group when they hit the scene. Odds are I tried one out, because I woulda been more concerned about convenience & efficiency, than what anyone mite think,I think I did have one, but it was like havin a shirt pocket in the middle of my back,, yea,, another place to haul stuff,, yippeee,, It just didnt work out.

I have a tank bib with a pouch on it. It's 1/4 turn to remove the pouch. It's big enough for both my sunglasses and safety glasses (night riding) although I try to only wear one pair at a time.

I like fork bags but I have a windshield that prohibits me from using one.
I don't care for "map pouches" but I like a fork bag on the back of the sissy bar. Again, my bike unfortunately prohibits this.

There is one dude I ride with who has a C90 with a really wide windshield. He has a 3 pouch rig running the inside of it. I'll try to get a picture next time I see him.

My uncle just bought this mess. I saw it for ~100 dollars. It's see-through for a map, not a GPS and actual map. Who the Hell still uses a map? The side is black material. Probably something synthetic. That part is a pouch. It attaches to the tank with magnets.

I don't keep stuff in it that I use much, mostly just for tools.

Well this might be a good muffle for those Savage Owners who have a speedometer that rattles.

Can't imagine it would melt, as it's made of leather (same with the straps). But all I keep in it so far is tools, so the heat won't be an issue.

& yet, I see lots of people posting pictures & full descriptions & not having anything to holler about,
Im leaning toward operator error at this point.

I put my little stuff in the small 'fender' bag on the front. It works good for little things that you don't need while riding. Otherwise, you have to put it in neutral or turn it off, put up the stand, and walk around to the front. Was a real b*&%h when I stored my garage clicker in there and had to stop and get off and on to get in the garage, but I got smart and got a new garage door key fob remote and mounted it under the edge of my seat Wink

The little bag works for now, but I am as well looking for something similar to tuck up behind the windshield on the handlebars.
