    So I have the 650LH Midnight Maxim (US) 1981, and I have been looking for a decent way to mount my saddle bags. I have run into a few issues though, first off my aftermarket soft saddle bags rub on my rear suspension slowly tearing a hole in them and I cannot find a good set of support hardware that FITS my bike.

    I have found a set of hard Vetter saddle bags including the trunk rack for an XS1100 for a decent price, and I was wondering if this would be compatible with my bike?

    If this luggage is NOT compatible, what other options do I have?

    I don't have a picture but I built some brackets out of flat bar that holds my bags away from my rear wheel.
    If you just sit behind your bike and look where you can mount it... I mounted mine on the fender where the grab rail bolt goes thru.
    all I did was bend it with 2 - 45 deg bends.
    It has worked for 2 yrs now.
