The challenge with saddle bag brackets is that they were never marked for what bike they fit. That was only a label on the outside of the box. Once they were out of the box, you can't tell. The best thing to do is to search eBay for...

I get that, and I am a technology wonk.

That seems a little overkill, and will likely be expensive. Craig has some information on his site about building customer brackets. Also, I have seen people do some great things modifying brackets from older bikes to fit newer bikes...

Hi from across the pond. I've got a '79 gs850g with windjammer V, fantastic combination. I made my own mount by cutting up a Honda 750 one in the end. It pushed the fairing futher forward than usual but meant I could keep the headlight...
