Default 1.25” Saddlebag guards

Hey guys, looking to install some of the 1.25” saddlebag guards on my SGS. I think...... I can just cut the existing lower support bracket and bolt to the lower connection point on the new guard? I think I read that somewhere but now I can’t find it... also, anyone have any experience with the 1.25 guards from drag specialties or revzilla? I think they are the same manufacturer.....
thanks

Yes, I watched a youtube video and he used a some kind of rotary cutting tool to cut them. He didn't even take them off the bike took like 1 minute a side. You just better be sure where to cut. Measure twice, cut once. Can't help with that brand. Good Luck.

Some years ago I put Big Buffalo guards on a bike and didn't have to cut anything that I recall.
