Default Swing Arm bag - fits Heritage?

Probably a silly question, but I want to make sure they will fit - I was looking at my bike yesterday, that lower support post for the bags looks like it would interfere with a swing arm bag.

Any Heritage riders with swing arm bags?

OK, well I ordered the 5" Leatherworks swing arm bag from the good Doctor today, I guess I'm the guinea pig on a Heritage?

Thats what I was afraid of. Oh well. I guess I'm at the point of only using the bags on longer trips, so I guess it wont be a big deal if I have to re-mount the support bushing when I need them

Same here. And the bike looks cleaner without the lower support.

I think it is only 1 bolt to take off the lower support regardless. If I were running without bags most of the time teh bag supports would be off. Make it nice and clean.
