Thank you for the pic, I was looking at a similar bag and my turn signal is in the same spot as yours, this isn't the stock mount is it? the signal came on the struts, right? The shock seems like it is going to be in the way of me putting it a bit more forward than you have yours, I can't quite make out the emblem that is saddlemen right?

***** & Max throwovers, 17"x12"x5.5" (sorry, don't remember which model.) The slant ones like these look nice, but sometimes make packing difficult. Square ones would be more efficient when space is at a premium.

EDIT: turnsignals don't need to be moved with these

HD rigid locking bags. Click pics to enlarge.











They also come off very easy, but only from the inside... maybe 5 mins. Box wrench and rachet.

My turn signals are already moved back to the plate. Got it like that, so I do have that extra bit of room to play with. Your right the ***** and max does look good, but I gotta say I love those rigid HD bags.

I am also looking to get a bag. I'm leaning towards the Viking Bag swing arm bag

I just move my bags forward so I didn't have to move my lights.

I got a la rosa swing arm bag, its ok, not alot of room and a little awkward to get to, but looks good and is some storage for stuff you don't need to get to very often,
When moving the bag forward more, the shock doesn't get in the way.
