I have a Garage Leathers…it's the nicest one I've seen so far. I have a side mounted plate and there's no clearance issues at all.

Roberti Custom Leathers

i hated the idea of strapping directly to the swing arm so this is what I used.

I have a side mounted plate and the semi triangle bag and it's strapped to the swing arm. I don't have problems with it. My problem with the bag was finding out that my iPad can fit in. But I did.
This is my "old" bike. I have one on my new one but I don't have a picture. It's the same.
