How did you mount it to the swingarm with the bag strap being horizontal?

Will that tool bag fit even if you have passenger pegs already mounted on? Ya'll think it'll fit? Very creative place to put it, looks great.

just moved mine without issue.. the straps on mine have the option of vert. or horiz. so i just changed them to vert. and strapped her on there. i have pass. pegs and no clearance issues i can see so far, although my wife wears a 5 1/2- 6 so that might not be the case for others... no pics yet, like i stated previously( litterally just changed location) but will try to get some up soon

mine has a steel bar sewn into the back from end to end and has a hole in the center and came with a bolt and nut. i made a offset "L" bracket and bolted it under the bolt that holds that brakeline clamp and then bolted the bag to it. i also ran the straps around the arm for backup incase the bracket breaks...
