Bagged. cupped arms alternative?

[Wizit247]

Im building a 60 gmc that will lay frame. build thread here:

Ive been working on my gmc frame a bit and have gotten to the point of cupping the lower arms for the bags.

My question, or rather idea, is this. could you rebuild the upper bag mount on the crossmember rather than cupping the lower arms?

Heres a Pic to visualize. red represent cut and new upper bag plate. obviously it would need to be plated back in and gusseted substantially to maintain strength of the upper arm mount. blue represents bag.



I know it kinda seems like im looking for a solution where one already exists but i like doing things differently and I have seen guys say that their cupped arms hang too low and often drag. Also the pb dropmember is setup similar to what im thinking.

Pic of pb dropmember for reference.
