Are they throw overs or rigid mount? If they are throw overs then you can most likely just move them forward enough so they do not interfere with the directional's. Do you have a link to these bags so we can help out more?

Personally I would buy them and throw them on (that's saying that your set on them) then make adjustments as needed.
