Yes it can rotate more clockwise, it is mounted with 2 leather straps. So if you loosen the rear strap and tighten the front one, it turns more clockwise. I put it like it
is for a reason, now I can open / remove the cover without that the bag is in the way.

Just for info, there is also a piece that comes with the bag, that piece you mount on the swingarm that prevent the bag going to the wheel but it is loose from the bag.
So what will definitely happen after a period of time is wear and tear at the place where both come into contact / rubbing on the backside of the bag.

Ok thanks, Straps are used... just curious. Sure, you can install it anyway that serves your purpose.

I liked the possible "Lines" between the cover, shock, and swingarm (because of the shape of the bag)



And mind you it wouldn't have mattered how it was mounted, if I wanted rotated, I could accomplish that simple task regardless of how it was mounted
