Any one of these handlebar mounted ones?

I've seen guys rocking these on the highway here -- mostly on giant cruisers -- with paper coffee cups in them and actually taking sips while on the move.

To be serious though, I would double down on what was said above about the smaller magnetic tank bag. I run a Cortech Super Mini and the nice, flat, metal tank of the CB makes it work a treat -- you don't even have to take it off to get gas.
