Handlebar bag

The southern meet last month gave me a couple of areas that I would like to improve on.


One of which would be to get some kind of handlebar bag just to carry some cash for tolls, mobile phone and passport etc.


I ordered the Wunderlich bag from Nippy Normans only to find it did not fit (even though they claimed it did and reviews now suggest it didn't)


I did see a couple in use at the meet but cannot remember who had them.
So come on ... Own up! Who are you and where did you get them from? Or can you recommend something other than a tank bag.


I have seen a bag that attaches to the back of the screen but don't like that much.

Handlebar bag on an RT.  That'll be a first I think as there is no central bar to fit one to. 
I would check out US suppliers, they are sure to have come up with something.

As I said ... Wunderlich make a couple of designs but they don't seem to fit the LC (are they different bars?)


It does not fit by a central bar but velcros onto both vertical stems on the bars.


Here it is ...

I have the wunderlich bag for my 15RT, specific model for LC bikes, takes a bit of work but fits fine.  They also make a bag that fits on top of dash, always needing more storage space I have both

Why not get the small SW Motech tank bag and put 12v in it, got all the goodies and stuff in an easy to get location.
I have a second GS style bag with same connection on, much nicer than a handlebar bag (IMHO of course)

I have the Wunderlich "Media Bag" on my K1600GT and now on a 2015 RT LC and it fitted fine.  http://www.nippynormans.com/r1150rt/wun ... tgtl.  Hope that helps, Peter

I use a Kreiga R3 bum bag for bits when travelling. Advantage it is always with you when you are off the bike.

I find a small tank bag is more satisfactory. I have a 5L Hepco & Becker, large enough to hold cash, tickets, passport, phone etc.
Easy to take on and off and does not interfere with instruments and handling.

Just had a look at that bag, looks good. It says it comes with a rain cover, does that mean its not waterproof without it?
