Re: Will this Saddle bag fit?

Based on the dimensions, probably. However, you will have to make sure you mount them as high as possible on the fender as the one on the exhaust side is likely to touch it otherwise. Do you have the saddle mounting brackets from Suzuki? They aren't really very functional, but they do serve to keep bags from getting sucked into the spokes. Measure your bike from the bolts on the fender trim down to the exhaust - I think its pretty close to ten inches.

Some folks on here have remedied the exhaust/saddlebag issue by plating the bottom of the bags (with sheet metal.)

Having bought leather bags (the suzuki stock ones) I don't recommend them unless the bike and the bags are strictly for show. Ballistic nylon with a zipper or velcro is a lot easier to deal with and handles things like wind and rain better.
