Anyone have pictures that would show, or can tell me where hard bags normally mount on an 80 xs1100 MNS? Have the hard bags, just need to know where i need to modify to fit them right.

My '79 Special bags mounted to the upper shock tower, the rear blinker mounts and the passenger foot pegs. They also had a crossover from left to right behind the wheel. -
What brand of bags? Do you have the stock bracket for them? If they are Vetter bags, there is a different bracket for Standards vs Specials. Here is what the Special bracket looks like on my MNS.

I found the brand, unfortunately they are no longer in business. They are calforia bags. Looks like the mods i need to make will be slight. One cutout to clear the seat nut, and a ne hole for the rear mounting. I have to make up one more bar for the downside support.1980 XS1100LG Midnight
