Used the original older support.

From the pics I believe you have the '09 -'13 saddlebags. Mine are the '14 - '19 bags which are a bit wider at the front. The support channel
must be in the same position on both model year bags because the older support bar fits into the Rushmore bag's support channel just fine.
If it needs trimming so be it. I can even make its length adjustable if I need to.
