I recently bought a 1999 Drifter 1500 in great shape.  As purchased, it has the two-up seat and the saddle bag brackets, but it did NOT have the grip on the back of the two-up seat for the passenger.  I happen to like the looks of that grip, so I bought one (Partzilla).  Now, I can't for the life of me figure out how it attaches to the bike.

Can someone give me some guidance here, preferably a diagram?

There is a diagram on Parzilla that shows the support bracket for the rear of the two-up seat, and it shows the grip.  But it doesn't show the brackets for the saddle bags.  And in the service manual it shows the support bracket and the grip, but not the brackets for the saddle bags.

It looks like it would be simple to put the grip on that support bracket for the rear seat.  But I can't figure out how to do that AND get the brackets for the saddle bags on the bike.  And I know that I had all that on the 1999 Drifter 1500 that I used to own a couple of years ago.  (But that bike CAME with all that hardware on it, I didn't have to figure out how to attach it all.)
