touring bag

About the windshield pouches and the tank bib w. pouch...  They're both Hopnel brand and aren't leather, but vinyl.  I got the windshield pouches at Dr. Mudspringer's in Spring Lake Park, MN (one of the northern Mpls suburbs) and the bib/pouch at Dennis Kirk's scratch and dent outlet in Rush City, MN.  

The windshield pouches could stand to be just a tad bigger and I REALLY wish the mounting system was upside down from the way they make it; it fastens at the bottom edge and the rest of the unit wants to sag away from the windshield.  Keep intending to add a polished stainless strip across at the level of the top of the pouches to hold them up, but haven't gotten to it yet.

I've stuck an Interstate tank on the bike since taking the pics and the bib won't fit on it (bigger tank), and I'm looking into real tank bags.  I'm thinking something with magnetic mounts and stealth shoulderstraps so I can use it to carry junk (camera, hats, water, snacks, etc) off the bike at touristy stops.
