I recently bought some after-market saddle bag brackets on ebay from ID "8pointman" (does anyone know him?)

Anyway, I guess they are supposed to attach to the fender at the:
A) lower front bolts, and
B) rear bolts where the turn signals mount.

I looked at the turn signal mounts on my S40, and there does not appear to be a bolt with a nut, but rather a kind of pin or something protruding out under the fender.  (sorry if this doesn't paint an accurate picture)

I am wondering if something changed between the Savage and the S40 or if as usual I am just missing something really simple  

How do you attach saddle bag brakets to the rear of the fender?

Here are photos of the brackets and bags that I got:





It looks like I am going to need to move the turn signals anyway since the bags are so big (14"x12"), but I am wondering if anyone has some insight they could share regarding this.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply T Mack.  Have you seen this on an S40?  There are bolts in the wheel-well on the front, but it is different at the back where the turn signals are.

Thanks Al,

So are you saying that I am supposed to attach one side to the upper-front (foremost) bolt and then find the other bolt you described - which is NOT located at the turn signal mount?
