Anyone mount hardbags on a GS1150?

Any particular kind of "hardbags"?
The July, 2009 Bike of the Month was an '83 1100ES that had 1100GK bags grafted on.
I liked the concept enough to do the same thing with my 850G, but that 1100 really looks good with them.

It would obviously require a bit of custom fabrication, but it wasn't much, in the case of my 850.
I have never worked on an 1150, so I don't know what frame brackets there might be on the rear.

I can take one of my saddlebags off to show the framework that needs to mount to the bike.
If you have enough hard points that it looks feasable, I can get some specific measurements, too.

Steve's info should do me right, since even Scott's bike is different from mine. I won't have it done for a weeklong trip I'm taking the bike on in June, but I have a Wolfman bag that will do for that."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."
