Default 1200S brackets?

I have a '98 1200s and am looking to add saddlebags this year. On all of the part I have looked at so far it states that it will not work on the 1200S. What is the difference between the models. I know mine has the extra reservior for the adjustable shocks, but I'm not sure why that makes a difference. Any one have any info that will help?

Default RE: 1200S brackets?

Bingo, the reservoir gets in the way. you can run throw over style leather bags but you may have to fab a support bracket to keep them off of your brake rotor and sprocket...

Or, you could just trade shocks with me and let me fab the bracket for myself... ;-)
