Handlebar bag for W800

Sam Member Profile All Messages By This Member #188528 Hi folks, First time poster here, so please be gentle. I recently acquired a 2022 W800, which I know isn't a W650 but as far as I can see the overall design is similar. I'm looking for a handlebar bag. I was curious what other people here (both W650 users and W800 users, if there are others) have been using? I've attached some pictures with some measurements. There's a Quad Lock on my handlebars at the moment, but I assume it can just be moved closer to the handle to accommodate a bag. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks!

The only bag that was of any use that did not cause any restriction was a Disk Lock bag measuring 10x8x4cm. I came to the conclusion that, apart from a possible Fork Roll Bag beneath the headlamp, the only option is to look at the rear end for any bag/case location.? Anything on the bars would end up being removed for safety.

Sam Member Profile All Messages By This Member #188533 Thanks Keith! Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any bags with the brand name Disk Lock, might you have a link to the bag in question? Regarding the idea of a roll bag on the front fork under the headlight, my only concern is that it will interfere with that black plastic accordion cover when the front wheel goes over a bump and the shock compressed. Is that a fake worry on my part? -- Sam Malkinson DMD, Cert Perio, FRCD(C), Dip ABPDIS sent from my Google Pixel 5

However I do not think that, if it were carefully fitted, it would cause any serious interference. The Disk Lock bag is for a Oxford disk lock, nothing special, but convenient rather than having the disk lock rattling about in a tank or tail bag. Keith? Rev'd??

Sam Member Profile All Messages By This Member #188548 Folks, thanks to everyone who responded and sent me ideas for what to do for my W800 handlebar bag. After an exhaustive review of the different options, I ended up going with the Handlebar Bag Mini from Ornot? I got mine in Olive, but there are three other colors from which to choose. Though this item was designed for bicycles, as you can see from the pictures it adapted well to my W800's handlebars, even leaving room for my phone to be attached to the Quad Lock. It does not interfere with any movement of the handlebars, and attaches securely at three points. The bag arrived two days after it was ordered, via FedEx International shipping. Happy riding, everyone! Sam PXL_20230505_162720960.jpg PXL_20230505_162744402.jpg PXL_20230505_162753897.jpg
