Especially on a bicycle or motorcycle. That'd really mess with the center of gravity.TBH, I’m not thrilled with the idea of hanging the weight of the FM3 on the headstock end of a gig bag.

Here's the thing about that: if you have enough weight at the top of your gig bag, it'll raise the center of mass above the height of the shoulder straps. When that happens, gravity will try to rotate the bag so the headstock is pointed toward the floor, and you'll be fighting that with every step you take. Even if you win that fight, you'll be knocking into the sides of doorjambs and bus doors, and into your fellow pedestrians.Greg, Rex - thanks for the suggestion that my question is wrong
Kidding aside though - and point taken; let's forget about the specifics of balancing a bike. What about walking?
thanks for the reply and the concern.Here's the thing about that: if you have enough weight at the top of your gig bag, it'll raise the center of mass above the height of the shoulder straps.

Another danger is if the bag gets dropped or runs into something. Now you have the weight your gear smashing down on your headstock. Not trying to rain on your parade, but personally, I wouldn't risk my stuff like that.
