I also have a 95 pbh and ride a 62 in both a Sam and Appaloosa. The short answer is that I wouldn't worry too much about the height of the rack in relation to the bottom of the saddlebag. I have a Medium Saddlesack used with an R-14 rack. When I first put the bag on while empty it looked like it would be well above the rack. I discovered that there is some give to the bottom of the bag even with the plastic bottom panel in place. Once you load up the bag it brings the bottom closer to the rack. I zip tied mine to the R-14 and now it is pretty much sitting on the rack even while empty. Hope that makes sense. You are going to love your DTT Atlantis and I'm sure you already know that the Sackville bags are top notch.
