Swingarm bag
Well I got a bag from La Rosa and it seems the mounting straps would be a safety issue as they could interfere with the belt drive.
I know I had a swingarm bag on my 06 Deluxe. That was a leather one from another vendor. No issues with that one.

Here is a video that should help. It is not specific to La Rosa but it is the same concept. You wrap the 4 straps around the top portion and the lower portion of the swingarm and then cinch them tight. I actually have a new La Rosa on the way, as my old one sagged a bit and I tore it up scrapping in the corners. If you follow these instructions you will not be close to the belt drive.

Screw the swingarm bag. I ordered a left side bag from Leatherworks. Comes with the mounting bracket. Nicer because it is mounted safely and holds more.

Today I noticed the front rotor is warped so she has to get a new rotor now.

You can put a mounting bracket that the swingarm bag bolts to. Check out "Chasin' White Lines", there's a nice write up.

Let me first get the fact the Larosa products are mostly ****... now.. the mounting
The straps will eat the paint on your swing arm and guarantee them rusting after your first rain/wash, you can overcome that with duct-taping your swingarm and then putting the straps, which is like. ugly on top of ugly
the brackets are your friend and they do work wonders, if your bike is lowered, you may need some contraption like mine
