Mount saddlebags How much leather is too much on a Suzuki GZ-250?
Right now I have medium size slant saddlebags, with a small matching sissybar bag. The bike does have a windshield. I was wondering if a fork mount tool bag, matching of course, would be overkill on a small bike like mine?
That depends on how you view yourself, and your bike. If you are comfortable with the look, go for it. I had just about the same set-up on my XL1200C, and got funny looks from other H-D riders since I was "dressing" a Sporty. I carried my rain gear in the sissy bar bag, and my lunch in the tool bag you are describing. (Never did cary any tools in it.)
I think a fork bag looks good. Especially with the windscreen. It just makes the bike look "together". I had to get rid of the tool bag on my new ride, an FXDWG, when I had a set of auxiliary lights installed. (The lights connect in the same place as the bag used to be.) I miss the fork bag. I always thought it looked cool.
I think one of the pictures on my 360 site shows my old Sporty with the tool bag. (No screen on that one.) I always thought it made the bike look better. Bag in the back, bags on the side, why not a bag in the front? Sounds good to me! If it works for you, do it. Take care, ride safe. Ciao!

Hard bags require mounting brackets. Soft bags may or may not. Throwovers do not typically need brackets; however the details of wheels, suspension or exhaust may dictate some kind of device to keep the bags free from damage.
