I dont know if its in the budget or not (Time or Money or both) You could build a set of tube arms. With the lower I would build them to where they let the bag sit down in them. This would allow the upper mount to then be lower on the frame. A new tube upper could also be built which would clear the bag mount because it doesnt have the cross bracing of the stock stamped arm. Sorry for the long post. Hope this helps. JR
