    So to get even, I'm posting a couple that are on ebay to confuse the issue. It looks like these can be secured under the windshield between the fairing and the windshield. Don't know if I prefer that or not.

    Those are made for HD or Batwing style fairings with a more straight up windshield. I stopped by Harley and looked at theirs, but I don't think it will work for me. I need to find one I can try. I wasn't about to ask the HD parts man if I could take it out of the package and try it on my Honda..

    If you find that it will work w/your madstad, please post, as I am sure you would.

    I'm interested in this as well, but since my GPS is mounted to the lower shield I may settle for a gas lid bag. I'll wait to see what you come up with first

    If you're seeking pics of my GPS mount:

    The bolts and nuts in pics 2 and 3 have since been replaced with black button head screws threaded into the shield for a cleaner look.

    If you're seeking pics of the tank lid bag: I was browsing these on WingStuff.

    OK, I managed to acquire a Kuyrakyn pouch. It WAS part of the three pouch set up for an Ultra (HD Batwing Fairing) but my friend had cut off the two small pouches and had no need for the center. Perfect for me.....

    The 3 pouch set up for the Batwing will NOT slide down far enough to mount behind the F6B Windshield. So I took the center pouch and cut a 12" X 1" piece of aluminum and drilled two holes at the ends to use the Madstad mounting bolts. Then mounted the pouch to the bracket and bolted it on.

    This is not a finished product as I need to remove it and paint the aluminum strip black and smooth out the corners of the brachet. Just a quick shot to give anyone interested the idea..

    The hardest part in finding what I am after is NO ONE shows the back side for me to figure mounting. I can fabricate a bracket off the two Madstad brackets, but would like to see the back of the pouches that are out there for sale.


    I have narrowed it down to a few and will have to just order one and work from there.

    If nothing else there is always this one made for the GL1800,

    I will post what I do when I'm done. Thanks everyone for the info !!!
