Yesterday, while waiting for the Bullet to be serviced I wandered in to the
Army Navy Store in downtown
Pottstown. Not looking for anything in particular, just looking to kill time. There I found a
Fox Tactical Modular Deployment Bag that would do the perfect job for a fork bag tool kit. The bag cost $25.95, plus tax, and measures 11.5"x6"x5.5". The outside is Cordura nylon and the inside is rubberized for waterproofing.
After a few minor alterations it fit fairly well on the fork and should serve well as a tool kit holder or small catchall. I altered the bag by cutting the retaining fold on the front buckle straps so that they could be folded around the back of the bag and used as attachment points to the fork cross beam. The attachment straps on the back of the bag are not long enough to wrap around the fork crossbeam as they are designed to attached to a belt or to modular tactical equipment. At first I thought about buying or constructing extensions, and this is a possibility, but the original idea was to have a low cost fork bag and I didn't feel the extra hassle and cost could be justified.
A pretty neat solution, now let's see how it holds up in use.
