Anyone runn'n with a FORK bag on the VAlk? any issues...

[Cracker]

Considering adding a Fork bag to my Interstate but had a couple questions that i was hoping someone  might be able to add their .02.

Not sure of the jounce travel on the valk under normal riding conditions, my guess would be a a few inches, maybe 3 or 4 ???, so that doesn't give you much room between the interstates fairing & the top of the fender.
Another concern is that the tool bag would be directly in front of the Rad, it wouldn't (of course) cover the entire opening , but definitely blocks a significant amount of what is very large opening for air flow.

any thoughts?  thanks

I had one on my standard, it ran a little warm on 100 degree day's I took it off, you mite want to try it and see ---------------

I have one on my Standard.  I only keep soft items in it as it is quite easy to make it contact the fender.

I wouldn't put one on my Interstate as the fairing would not allow it to ride high enough.  It would be a guarantee on my Interstate to bump the fender regularly.

For a little extra, easy to get to, storage you may want to consider these bags from Talisman.
