Default Bagger adjustment

I have my bike sitting on the jack and looking at it from the back it looks like the tour pack the hard bag and the exhaust pipe sits a little high on the right side. Does anybody know if there is an adjustment to lower the mounting points on this side. I have looked and looked but can't see anything.

It looks higher in the pic than it really is. But it isnt just the tour pack, it's almost the whole right side except for the bag guards.

Your bags are just like mine, one half inch off on the right side, pipes are level, bag sits high in the saddle under it. no adjustment, looks like the right side mounting holes in the fender are off. cause thats where the difference is. Both bags are right, when sat side by side, the two tone paint is ok too. Looks like its HDs plus or minus tolerances on the stuff like that. The rails can be bent up, just grab and jerk, to level them out,.. The mount on the bottom by the exhaust bracket is fixed, no adjustment, Spent two hours trying to fix, just wear your glasses tilted to the right, and they look level. lol, cheers, zzzzzzz

LOL..........Thats when I notice it the most, when I'm wearing my glasses. Nobody else has ever noticed or commented on it. It's just been bugging me because I know it's that way.

cheers back at ya[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Stupid question but if you ever took you bags off did you make sure they are sitting on the ruber supports correctly when you put them back on?
