As long as they STAY where they are now, I don't think you will have any problem.........unless maybe you sit at idle for a really LONG time.....which you shouldn't do with an air cooled engine anyway.
My right bag sits an inch or less from the end of the right muffler. It just went on a 1,200 mile trip with no problem. It is real leather.
Sarris is not the only one to put an aluminum sheet/plate on the bottom of the bag. If it really worrys you, that is the thing to do.
