Default RK custom with hard bags??? help

i know there are some of you that have changed over from the custom bagsto painted hard bags. my question is this how do you bags fit around the seat( assuming you have a stock seat). i just put a pair on my bike and they rub just a bit right under the seat, just the lid right in front of the forward latch is the customs seat wider than others? did you use any spacers to move the brackets?

I put hard bags on my RK. Evenwith the mounts angled so that the bags are to the rear as far as possible, my stock seat still makes about 1 1/2" of contact with the lids. I have to sorta 'tuck' the lids under the seat to close 'em. I've had 'em on for a few years and there isnt any sign of the paint wearing off the corners of the lids.
