If you make a bracket to attach it in a bit of a different place you can add a solo saddlebag. I had a bracket that was attached to the rear footpeg hole and one of the strut bolts. It worked great. I got tired of it and took it off and sold it though. I think I have pics somehwere. Now I have a Heartland plate holder that would get blocked if i added a new one. Oh well.

Capt take a look at the link below. Its from a member on here "WARG" He describes making a plate to mount the bag and it should be good to go with your Samsons. Hope this helps-
