If they're bag supports, there needs to be at least two holes on the 'seat' end.   The Fire and Steel bag struts look like these (pictured is the chrome version):

You wouldn't be able to 'throw a bag' over these though - they mount lower than the top of the rear fender.

And here is the whole set (blacked out version): https://www.ebay.com/itm/saddleline-Kawasaki-Drifter-1500-Saddlebags-mounting-brackets-W-2up-solo-seat/223015292194?hash=item33ecbf4d22:g:oJkAAOSwhcNaW8Kr

I will try and get some pics loaded tomorrow. Had to take the new Drifer to the doctor.  Clutch/Shift fork issues and overheating. Also needed to get footboards back level.

A pic is worth a thousand words.....

Yeah, lets see some pics. It's a little difficult to tell from the description.

Now for a new query.... In my collection of caliginous junk, I have got two powder coated flat bars.  They are identical, but reversed and are about 11 inches long and bent outward about 15 degrees.  There is a hole on 1 end that seems to match up with the rear shock mound and each has a rectangular cut out right where the helmet locks are.

Does anyone know that these are?  My best guess is an early attempt by F&S to slap something on for throw over bags
