Default Saddle bag problems, looking for a solo bag

Hey all, was detailing my 2012 Deluxe the other day and pulled my Boss bags off and found the swingarm has been hitting the back panel. I haven't noticed this before the first couple rides this year so it's a new issue and the bags have been on since new. I'm not sure what is causing the interference except possibly running my shotgun to low, but that shouldn't matter in case the suspension bottoms out. I'll have to investigate this issue

In the meantime, I've decided I don't need bags as big as these ones are since 99% of the time I just carry a change of lenses for my glasses and ear plugs. I've been out of the customizing game for a couple of years now so I don't know what's out there but I'd like to get a swing arm bag. I have Samson true duals and I remember no one making a swing arm bag to work with those. Is there anything out there now that would work?

I have looked into a bag similar to what Motown strag has, basically a fork bag mounted to the fender stay. Which is cool, but I want something a bit bigger. I have toyed with the idea of a messenger style bag mounted to the fender stay but I'm having trouble finding one.

What are my options? I know custom ordering one is always an option but that can't be cheap

Thanks
