The wife was home today when UPS delivered my handlebar bag. She called it a 'manbag', too.

Anyway, its small ... big enough for two sunglasses (a pair, of a pair of sunglasses?). I was hoping to carry my Glock 26 (just on longer trips), but it seems too small for that.

Maybe turnpike change, wallet and sunglasses.

Cool. That looks bigger and better secured than the one I have from touratech.....and it says Buell on it.

Sweet, looks like you can wear it as a fanny-pack as well.

""Sweet, looks like you can wear it as a fanny-pack as well.""

Those buckles on top of the cross bar are for my map case ... very handy little item, actually.

garage door opener, electronics so that my radar detector overrides the xm/gps, spare batteries and other few small ods and ends. I have the tourtech also but the newer one with the velcro instead of the clips. Very handy place for this stuff for me.

Are you able to put gas in without moving the bag?

Looks like you'd have to pay attention a bit to get the cap off and on, but it doesn't look like the bag would interfere with fueling itself.

Yeah, the bag can be pushed in between the handlebars and the crossbar to get gas ... but the photo is misleading, the bag really is small.

Keys, wallet, and cell phone, and I'll be happy. I don't like riding with things in my pockets and it's irritating to have to pop open the top case to get my wallet out to gas up and that kind of thing. This looks like just the ticket.

...I'm limiting my 'upgrades' to rider comfort and convenience at this point. Heat shield for my leg, Strada's brackets for the windshield, and the underseat bag and this. Go fast goodies will have to wait a while for the UlyXT.
