yamaha tool bag 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
has anyone put a yamaha tool bag on their roadstar and where did you mount it? i wanted to put it under the light bar but i'm not sure if i have enough distance between the bag and front finder, any suggestions would be great. my roadstar is a 2007 silverado with factory saddle bags and the tall star sissy bar backrest with rack. the rack has a saddleman br1800 bag mounted on it. thanks

I couldn't find anywhere to put it except behind the windshield. You'll bash your fender if you hand it out front. Besides, you don't need any tools.

scuffed the clear coat off my front fender, front end compresses a lot more than you think..
If you have driving lights, the bar hangs down lower!!!

I totally agree with the no tools, but the boy scout in me keeps saying better safe than sorry.

I thought about on the frame between where my crash bar attaches and the coil.

under my bag the front fender went to bear metal. so if you put it there,there is a clear cover that you can buy. it goes on like a clear tape. it was to late for me.also if you have the progressive front springs the compression is not as bad
