Default classic leather bags to hard bags.....question

I recently switched out my leather classic bags for hard bags. I just noticed my bags stick out farther then the bag guards in the rear. Are they supposed to stick out further or do I need to get new guards? Thanks.

If you are talking about the ones in front of the bags, it is supposed to do that. That's what protects your bags if you forget to put the kickstand down or something of the sort.

Yes, the ones right in front of the bags. My bags stick out a little bit further that the guards do. I think if it would tip over the bags would hit rather that the guard. Are there different sizes for the different bags?
