Western Style Sissy Bar Bag

[McJeep]

Did a ruff mock up this aft to get shape and dimensions figured out and came up with the following

Here's a shot of her bags for reference to the back angle

And a shot of her backrest for angle reference

And the ruff mock up in recycled ceral boxes LOL

The bag is 6" across the back - 4 3/4 deep - 7 1/2 vertical height

My question to you fine folks is should I leave it boxed off at the back? Or remock it with the back angled down and in (shown with the black sharpie line) to maintain the line of the sissy bar and maybe pick up on an opposing angle with the saddle bags

As it is a very small sissy bar (the top of the bag is within 1/2" of the top of sissy already) I'm thinking that the squared off bag would look too much like we bolted a milk crate to the back of the bike LOL

Opinions please and thank u :0)

If you just made it flat across the bottom, with sides an even width, it wouldn't sit straight, but that wouldn't look bad

Here's a picture of a luggage bag I did for a V-Rod - not the same kind of bag of course, but it also had to angle to fit the sissy bar - what a pain to sew

My opinion - make the bag straight and let it sit at an angle rather than have one side angled
