Drlapo, I believe the bags are on correctly. Even if they weren't, they would be for me. They are astatically more pleasing and the slash back in the front allows for a passenger to place there feet on the foot pegs. I think if you google image the saddle bags, you'll find that this is the normal placement for most. If Triumph is changing that norm then it would all make sense as they are the ones to introduce (Movable sliding luggage) which is another completely amazing subject of wonder. (not a concept Id agree with)
This motorcycle thing is a great place to get creative and in some cases personal. I personally like to do things my way.
