think about clearance coming out of a driveway or backing to a curb.

I personnel like the slash up as they follow the angle of the bags. I have the Big Louies slash ups.

Nice looking King btw.

Totally personal preference. I think they look good either way but if I leaned one way or the other it would be towards slash down (not parallel with the bags).

That question is like"Should I part my hair on the left or the right". Whatever looks good to you is the best answer.

I agree, With the long side on top, you get more clearance. You could put one each way and really confuse people.

I seem to recall that it also impacts how loud it is to the rider.
