HD swingarm bag issues; help needed
So I decided to start a thread about this. I posted in another, but figured more would come across it this way. Can you guys who have these bags installed offer me some ideas/advice. I bought and installed this bag a week or so ago, it's pretty straight forward. Got on the bike for a ride and as soon as I got on the road I noticed a problem. When I went to brake at the end of my street I got this horrible shutter, couldn't figure out what it was. Going over any little road bumps, etc I was getting almost a wobbly feeling from the rear. I turned around to go home and it didn't stop; tried to see if it made a difference between the front/rear brake; it did not. Anyway, I figured since the only thing different between this ride and my last was the bag so I took it off. Come to find out it was the swing arm banging on the bag's bracket where it bolts to the brake line clamp. I have these pictures so you can get an orientation of where they're contacting each other. I know I'm no ratard; I don't get it. Any ideas?? Looks like I'm going to have to file down that area of the bracket and/or add another washer to space it out a bit. Can't figure out if I did something wrong, but like you all know, it's a pretty simple installhe photos are after the bracket was removed obviously.

Today I filed the bracket down a bit where it was making contact and I added another washer on the back side of the bracket to space it out a bit; still making some contact. I'm at a loss here. I know a lot of folks have these with no issues.

Yeah, have the clamp also. I don't know what the deal is. It's installed correctly(I don't see a way someone could mess the install up). Driving me nuts that I can't get this thing to work; it doesn't make sense.
