The largest replacement I would consider is about 15.75"X 10.15". Would a 16" x 12" X 12" boxy bag work?

The largest non-custom front bag I have found online is the Waxwing Porteur at 14"x9.5"x10" . What do you have that is that size or bigger? Is it awkward? For the record, it will be going on a low trail bike.

Work with Dave at Waxwing, he's done a lot of different custom bags including some very large ones.
