I'll get back to you with some shots and details regarding mounting space etc. I've ordered some hard bags as well, but will make sure to take some shots of the current "regular" leather bags I have mounted.

I use these mounts on my Drifter and they're fine!

Very nice...have been thinking about these myself.
Agree with Ratman - would like to see it with the bags mounted and how far or close the brackets are to the fender. It's just a view you did not provide in your video. My guess is the Scootworks set up gets the brackets closer to the fender because everything screws from one side without nuts on the inside (Is that right?)
I have a set of Traveleer mounting brackets that only come off the seat. They work well, but are straight with no offset and hang out a little farther from the fenders. Would like to have a closer fit. So just trying to confirm that the Scootworks brackets provide the closest fit.

  Very good and easy to understand. Now you just need to finish it with a bit about the bags mounting and what the final look is like. Oh nice parking spot you have too.

I recently purchased and installed the Scootworks saddlebag mounts for the 800 Drifter. While at it, I made a quick video in case anyone wants to have some live pictures of what they look like on the bike:

Please note: English is *not* my first language, so please bare with me. I think I make myself understood, but I don't always know the right words for the mechanical parts and such...

There are a few things I forgot to mention in the video btw: the mounts, even semi-detached, will cover up the triangular maintenance hatch on both sides. This is a bad thing. The quality of the mounts however, is top notch. They're not cheap, but when you get to unpack them and feel them around for yourself, you'll understand why. The craftsmanship is superb.
