Nope she rides up on the seat not hanging on the swingarm










Just make sure that you don't mash the bag up next to the footpeg and you should be fine.

My rear footpeg folds up nice right in front of the bag. Does not interfere with two up at all.

Maybe it's my riding style, but I've only had my 5" leather works swing arm bag on my Rock for about 150 miles... Already dragged it and ripped out the stitching on front corner of bag... I'm gonna have to figure something out to fix it and some way to prevent it from happening again.... Besides not leaning as much.... Cause that's just too much fun... Haha
