As opposed to BMW, Lubeck clearly has a better understanding of where to locate that solo bag.

The Lubeck? I’m a little wary of it’s mounting bracket and possible frame scuffs and scratches, so please post a review when you get it. I imagine that the frame can be reasonably protected with clear vinyl tape or thin rubber strips.

I have to agree. Looks like it will just flap in the breeze.
Granted this picture is of the right side not the left but, the swing arm structure is the the same on the left with the exception of the brake caliper.
The drive shaft is a problem on the right side.

I've used Ends Cuoio bags before on my Fatboy. Very innovative and top notch quality. I was able to fit the bag on my Fatboy without having to move lights or license plate. Nice big bag.... I'm looking at this for my R18. I like the look and the ability to adjust capacity... https://www.endscuoio.com/product/roll-dresden/

It comes with rubber strips, so there is no direct metal contact with the frame.
