Need some help. I have a 2008 Heritage Softail Classic (FLSTC). I would like to put a grab rail on my seat. I also have saddle bag guards. I purchased an '08 Softail Deluxe seat in hopes that it would fit but the tabs that hold the grab rail hit the saddle bag guards and will not go down all the way. Most of my riding is solo so my back seat and sissy bar are off but sometimes I pack the old lady and need to have the grab rail mounted to my solo seat. I really don't want to give up my saddle bag guards so the only thing I can think of doing is finding someone who can maybe put a bend in my saddle bag guards to clear the grab rail tabs.

Does anybody out there have any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
