I just bought a new pair of Viking saddlebags for my 2013 Suzuki Boulevard S40.  I consulted Viking Bags and even measured the area for the bags.  However, when I received them I am finding they don't fit as I thought.  THey will not fit between the suspension and the rear.  I can put them behind the suspension but then the cover can't open as the rear turn signal is above the cover.

Does anybody have any suggestions?  Is there a way to move the rear turn signals to a better location or buy lower profile turn signals?

I really like the bags and would like to find a way to make them work

I also just bought bags from Viking, I found out that they are really Willie G bags and the support rods are the generic multi-purpuse rods in the Willie G catalog. They will not work. You have to buy the Suzukie support rods, 99.95. Mine will be delivered today. You have to move the tail lights to the license plate bracket, which Viking knows you need and will not send them unless you ask for them. Then the Suzukie lights will not work  on them you have to buy lights of your liking. I ordered lights from Amazon.com they are from Bikers Choice so still waiting to see how they are. Viking Bags suck and wants you to pay shipping back to get a refund. $25.00 to ship to you and $25.00 to ship back, $50.00 wasted money. Viking Bags Sucks.

I got some German side rails ebay.  They have tail inch light extensions on them that move the tail lights back a couple inches. A ridiculously expensive solution but they look great. http://joe-freeman-personal.blogspot.com/2012/09/european-parts-on-us-suzuki-...
