OK, here's my question. How much can you move the thing back and forth? I've got about 10-1/2" between the lower saddlebag mount and the axle nut. Can I have the bag sitting that far back?

I never thought my bags dragged and I ride hard as well (01 FXST, lowered front and rear 1" ),
Until I took them out to clean and bam.. there was the wear on the bottom, I was bummed.
alas, I found the right side mount to be more fun , nicer looking, I like seeing my belt and swing arm, check it out you may like this setup .

I am sure I want a swing arm bag. I like the Leatherworks bags. My question is which bag to get the 3" or the 5". I ride a lot of twisties. Will either size bag drag? Oh yea I rarely scrape my pegs. It will be the left side mounted bag. Any info on this subject is appreciated.
Good luck..

I just rode 1200 miles in the Blue ridge and did Deals Gap with no issue. My bike is lowered in but i have an 18" wheel... My bag was stuffed with my rain gear pants and it was stuffed to the gills and its about 3-4" deep. However, its a La Rosa and the quality isn't as good as others mentioned here. See my sig pick
