SW Moto Engage tank bag

[RockinRod]

First post here,

I was checking to see if others have installed the Engage Tank bag.
If so, how was the locking plate installed to the bag in order get clearance with the key.
The locking plate has to be turned 180 degrees, and does not move ahead far enough to get clearance.
Did the middle set of rivets need to be removed?
Thanks for any info

Tank Bag is installed!!

Ended up using 3/4" and 7/8" length round plastic spacers, about 3/8" dia. This allows the lock plate to stand off the bag, and move as close as possible to the key switch.
7/8" length in the front holes and the 3/4" in the rear. Lengths can be adjusted for preference.
My holes were drilled close to and in front of the forward and middle set of rivets for the base in the bag.
You will need 4 screws that are longer for the additional length spacers
I also removed the front rivet in the bag, for key clearance.
Works great, if you like a map..

Thanks so much, RockinRod:

Those photos are just what I needed to confirm what I've been thinking. I'm not so sure this is what I'm going to yet.

Does anyone else have some ideas? Or have mounted some other type of bag?
I've been using a Cortec Mini magnetic tank bag that I've had for about ten years and four different bikes. I'm really spoiled on how easy it is to use, with no hassles at the gas stop etc.

What othe tank bags are you folks using? Hopefully there are other choices.
And my trike is a 2015 F3.

Thanks again for all of the help from everyone.
