Have a look in the MODS/TIPS section of the website, under saddlebags. There is some info on brackets there.

Also might have a look in the accessories area.

Cheers.

If those ideas don't work, here's my setup in detail.  Pic 1 is where I just pulled off my solo seat.  I then removed the brackets, added the 2up horseshoe, reattached the brackets and added the 2up seat.  I tried to get you some good shots with a ruler in the pic so you can get some ideas on the measurements.  I also took pics of the whole thing with associated brackets in place so you can get and idea of how it all fits together.  You'll notice that there are two holes on the bottom of each side of the horseshoe bracket, and one of those holes passes through the saddlebag bracket.  Those holes are to mount the passenger grab rail.  Mine is off in these pics as I'm making custom brackets to mount a hard trunk.  Anyways, here's a link to my Photobucket page with all the pics.  Hope this helps!
