They are kinda strange looking, but the bottom support looks like a good idea..

Those really don't look like oem/F&S ... looks like they would work.

You need special brackets because you have to mount it to the saddle support frame.
I do not know anything special on your saddle bags but I used http://mo-tique.com/en/product/saddlebag-supports/1690/405/tdr0-1029-support-saddlebag. They look a little different because on the picture is a Drifter 800 bracket shown.
What I like about is that it supports the bag also on the bottom so when heavy luggage come in, the bags will not hang and keep shape.
Below a picture of my Drifter 1500 with saddlebags and the mounts.

Im pressed for time . Also has anyone ever put on Saddlemens cruisn deluxe bags on a  1500 drifter? If so can I see the picks. Thank you guys. Please respond!!!!

Well... which seat do you have? Some folks have made theirs. two-up corbin seats require some work to get the kaw stuff to work.

I have some F&S hardware for sale, struts and loops...  look in the FOR SALE section of the forum... I have some national cycle loops as well.

I am going crazy looking for a way to mount saddle bags to my 1999  1500 drifter.  I want to install the Saddlemen crusin deluxe bags. I have spent hours searching online for a way to mount these bags. Any ideas? I thought that the Saddlemen universal mount would work but when I called the company the representative was not to sure. Would the Willie Max mounts work? I have read on this forum that I would need the fire and steel but Im having difficulty locating the black struts and loops. Please help!!! I have a trip coming up, my only vacation time out of the year I would like to have those bags mounted for it. Thank you guys!!!
