Default lowered dyna with bags

I would like to lower my lowrider 1/2"-1" in the rear but I am afraid my detachable bags will hit the exhaust. Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution other then changing the exhaust or getting rid of the bags? I don't use the bags that often, but they are handy for overnight trips.

Your bags and pipes are both attached to the frame, they both move together.

If you lower it and by chance the pipes do get too close.......could you maybe make something that fits onto the brackets to lift it up or push it out? Either that or go with a T Bag set up on a sissy bar and sell the bags you have. I had my bike lowered by 1.6" and my pipes lowered with the bike.....so maybe stewbreezer is right.....and you'll have no worries.
