Default Solo Saddlebag and passengers?

I have narrowed down my search to a garage leather solo bag but 1 question still remains:

Does the bag interfere/contact your passengers foot or leg at all? I have not seen any pics with a passenger and the peg looks awfully close to the bag.

Love the bag but if momma aint happy, I would hate to get an ear-full after blowing $$200 plus. I wouldnt like it either rubbing my leg on an all day ride somewhere.

For anyone who has a solo bag; especially if it's a garage leather and you have ridden passengers mulltiple times, please chime in.

Thanks a bunch

I have the same bag, it fits well. The peg folds up right in front of the bag and my wife says it does not get in the way at all.

Thanks for the pic, It sure looks like it would hit the calf but I'll take your word for it. P.S. That looks like a leatherworks bag, not a garage leathers

Now that you mention it, leather works, you are right I just went out and looked.
I am not sure about the wider versions but this one is ok for two up.
