Molle Utility Bag for the crash bars
You might like the idea of some additional storage:
I've really had good use by adding a mil. style molle bag to mine. Started with one, then added one for the other side. The molle style straps mount very securly around the SWM crashbars, look neat, add a couple of black flex ties to keep it on in case a snap lets loose...or someone tries to just quickly walk off with one of them.
Mounted outside of the bars...no real effect to air flow for the rad.
I bought Condor brand Large Utility Pouchs...about $15 on ebay. Size is about 8x8x2.5. Holds a 2 quart mil style canteen perfectly. I typically use the other for snack bars/food/spare propane can and quick small items I'm picking up or carrying. They also fold down and strap down nice with empty. There are many makers/sizes/styles of these pouches...I went with these due to the open storage construction...for flexibility of what will fit in them. One neat variation I considered was a tool carrier that is flat that when mounted, but open would give you sort of a small table to rest things...in the end I thought that soft items of low value were the best choice for carrying here.
I decided to keep my tools and other critical items in my lockable pelican case on rear or my tank bag which I will often carry with me.
I'll try to post a photo.
