Very inexpensive front rack bag
I just noticed these in my newest Sportmans Guide catalogue.
The dimensions might be OK for a front rack bag.
https://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/c....aspx?a=947362
At 2 bags for $22.47, the price is right.
Sportmans Guide also has an "if you don't like it for any reason, return it" policy. I have tested that policy, and it works.

Looks nice and easily modified. IMO, you will first need to remove the handles, and then you'll need a decaleur and/or sew on some velcro straps underneath so it mounts securely. Hopefully the top flap is easy to open and get into while riding. Otherwise it kinda of defeats the advantage of a nice front bag, dontcha think?

if it's what I think it is, there is a considerable amount of internal space lost to padding.
