Sidemounts catch the wind too much.

I like the cycle vision eliminator that Dr vtwin is selling, it lays it down and gets rid of blinkers and looks sweet on 200mm fenders

I would vote for lay down. If for any reason you would ever want to throw a set of bags on for a long trip or something then you would have to move it again..
