Ditto on that. My bags are also around 12" and I couldn't get them to clear the muffler without having them way too high for the leather connector to hold them there. Luckily, I was planning on rigid-mounting them anyway, so I could pretty much put them wherever I wanted. I would have liked to have had them a little lower than they are, though. You can see a pic in the Member's Rides, or whatever its called, under "New Accessories.
