Incognito/low-profile gear storage?

[flynrider]

Any ideas?

I have a magnetic tank bag but dislike leaving it on or carrying it around when I jump off the bike. I don't like the looks of saddlebags or the luggage rack, nor do I need something that big, so those are out. The under-seat tray is annoying to get to, so I don't use it. My current solution is a backpack, which is obviously annoying to ride around on.

What are you trying to carry?

Yea if you eliminate tank bags, tail packs, trunks, luggage racks and saddlebags you have seriously narrowed your options for transporting "stuff".

My bad, I should have specified the items being carried. I'm talking about small stuff, basically things that can fit in pockets. I like riding light without my pockets stuffed with my phone, wallet, keys, combo lock for a gym locker, sunglasses, etc.

Maybe a carrier like these attached images:

I have something like that. I picked it up at Target. As I recall it's designed for a bicycle. It attaches to my grab bar with two long velcro straps. I know you don't have a rack, but you could probably use the handlebar or anything else you can wrap the velcro around.

I use mine for sunglasses, air gauge, gloves, etc....
