I agree, don't ask me how I know.

Have 'em, like 'em, don't interfere with bags. Yes, left side is thicker to accommodate axle/nut...I bet a little creative mod'ing with a Dremel or grinder could render the issue moot. Plenty o' clearance with the pipes...

...more so with the 11" 412 Progressives in back.

I have them. My pipes are shorter than stock, so there is no issue there. I also have HD bags on right now and there is no issue there either. As far as making sure you install them on the right side, I never really considered it. But, you have to figure if the lettering is upside down...then they are probably on the wrong side
