Default Winter Mods, Bag conversion brackets

Started gathering my stuff for winter mods which will be going on the ride around Xmas time.
Bought a Batwing fairing with stereo etc, waiting to arrive.
Got a set of extended hard bags with lids and latches, just need to sort out some conversion brackets for the bags, but I need to get the right ones, I saw a post on here about it recently but I couldnt find it, so I need to know which brackets to use with the Samson Cholo's, that wont throw the bags too far out from the fender but also wont catch the axle either. will the Cyclvisions bracket do this job for me. I intend to use the Cyclevisions bag fillers to fill the gap between the bag and fender.
I'm also going with a 23'' front too, but that wont be for a few months.

The brackets included in the True Dual Cholo's will fit with the Cyclevision bags no problem.
