Default Flss swing arm bag

The HD parts catalogue said that to install a swing arm bag for my flss I'd need to remove the axle nut cover. Any idea why? I installed it just fine without removing it. Did I do something wrong?

Welcome to the Forum from Kansas!

Does anything attach behind the nut? my buddy had a bobber and we didn't have to remove anything to put it on.

My bag is in front of the axle/axle nut. And I used wide and long zip ties to fasten mine on. Those leather gimmicks that come with the bag...the latches get in the way.
