Saddle bags without supports?

Is anyone aware of a set of bags that can be thrown over my nekkid fender that don't require the ugly and PITA supports?

I looked at those brackets. None for my scooter. Unless there is another brand out there.

I have a set that came with the bike. It looks like I can rig the right one to work. The left one will rest on my rear pulley/belt. How silly is it to mount only one? Maybe I should try to find a bag that mounts on top of the fender that is easily removable.

Here is a way to mount those existing bags without using the metal support plumbing.
Worked for several years flawlessly, up until I sold the bike they were mounted on.

Well, this may take a torch to do... but I've thought of a quick attach support that I may do in the future.
Drill 2 1/4" holes in the side rails on both sides.
Get some 3/16" music wire from the local hobby shop.
bend the ends in "Z" form so they'll slip into the holes of the side rails.
A couple of bends to form a loop and you got a cheap quick mounting support.

My '01 came with Suzuki bags--no supports. They were tied to the shocks and somewhere in front of rear wheel--lapped over fender under pillion seat. They were fairly stiff and looked like leather. Ran them about a year and sold them. Never had any problems, but you don't want an unintentional lockup of the rear wheel with bags in the spokes. Be careful.

If I do something, it's not unintentional. It's a training session for whoever is watching!

Until I figure out what I am going to do, I attached my sissy bar bag to the fender.
