Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Tsukayu Vinyl Bags

It's been a while I know, but I'm still here gearing up for summer. I'm really interested in these Tsukayu bags. Friar's got some good pics up of his bike with them on. Question from me is why is there so much space between the fender and the bags? I get it... you can conceal a 44 revolver in there, but other than that why can't they go closer to the fender? Is it absolutely necessary for swingarm clearance? I'll also consider any mounting recommendations from the crowd. I've got easy brackets layin on a shelf, but I won't cry about not using them.
