I dont see why you would have to get rid of the pass peg ... I could see it getting close to there heel but it will never rub it since its part of the swingarm and thatpeg is even with the pivot point for the arm ...

 

The bag looks cool, but the function of it is minimal with its small size(but maybe you dont need to carry much so this could be a moot point of course). I also question the safety of having a leather bag strapped so close to the belt and pulley, even the pavement without a guard. Better off with detachables if you don't like the look of bags full time.

 

I have never scraped mine but I also dont go into turns draggin my knee .... the bag is in the proximaty of the belt but not in anyway going to touch it ... your tire has a better chance of getting into your belt ... as for carrying capacity I can get a rain jacket and tools in there and a soda if I feel like it ... dont really need much else ....

 

It's a Saddlemen tattoo seat. Very comfortable. Got it from Dennis Kirk.

 

 

The tires are hard rubber, ridgid and mounted to a wheel. I have had a few nasty blowouts and never had a tire shred into the belt drive. That bag tho I am assuming is mounted by leather straps which will stretch and wear. More chance of that being a hazard. I would love to see some pics of the back of the bag tho and how they specifically mount. I like the idea and think its cool looking, but unless there is some type of plastic or metal shield mount plate Id still think twice about that type of setup. They make bag mounts and guards for a reason.

 

the bag flat mounts to the swingarm with zipties .... nothing but the ties rap around the swingarm.... I was thinking just what you are ... so I made the bag so the ziptie goes thru the bag around the swingarm and back into the bag where it zips together .....

 

This bag is hard as a rock, so I don't think you have to worry about it getting into the belt. Like Yep said, it is mounted with zipties, instead of the leather straps, which I hate by the way. If anything, it would come loose and fall off. I put my belt guard back on though, awhile back, so I am not worried in the least. Lots and lots of people use bags like this, and I have yet to hear anyone with a bag in the belt story.

On a side note though, I did have one of those HD tool bags mounted there once. I was riding to the HD dealer one afternoon, in high winds, and it flopped up into the belt. Never really knew it though until I got to the dealer and saw my bag shredded into pieces. That could of been a VERY bad deal and I was lucky that day.
