You could have gone to a local hardware store & bought some washers & already had them mounted, saved some $$ too.

Just needs an adjustment as most have said already. It will just pop right on after that. My advice is now that you have those good looking bags, pick up a Brukus Saddlebag Secure kit. It's cheap insurance and keeps some 9 Ball from popping your bags off with a screwdriver and walking away with them. Good looking scoot!!

You may only need to switch the spacers from front to back. That's what I had to do on my 08. The leathers are tapered differently if I recall and will work if they are reversed, but the hard bags won't.
When I say "spacers" I mean the tubular sleeves that are stand-offs behind the brackets as well as the bolts. They are different length front and rear.
