Many people posting about this lately. I believe it will hit in most cases unless you mount it up high.

Swing arm bag is designed to go on the left side and hangs pretty low. I have a Leather Works bag and a left side pipe won't work.

This one looks like it will install right, above the pipes.

I did several searchs for this over the week end and didn't come up with a whole lot....

I'm going to mount one on the left side so the pipes aren't an issue for me....

I've found 3 main players in the manufacturing of this style...

Larosa seems to be the biggest...or make the most styles...anyone have a review on the company?.....I saw mixed reviews around the net....

Most people have had a negative review of Larosa bag quality. They are definitely cheaper than the others though and that should factor in.

I have one from Garage Leathers EXCELLENT quality and I'm very happy with it. They have several styles also. Good luck with your purchase which ever one you choose.

Larosa is not an option, seriously , who ships making solo bags to China ? just look at Ebay and you will see how many bags they offer.

The quality is of no existence
Customer Support is worse than not existing (i.e. they can **** you off by stating flat out lies).
and that was my experience from 5 years ago, I doubt it get anything but worse.

I have one and just from where it mounts, I don't how it wouldn't hit the pipe. The left side pipe is low but I don't think it's that low.
