I'm no expert, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night...
That having been said, I'd recommend that you get some kind of saddlebag brackets whether the advertisement says you need them or not; the seller doesn't have to worry about what happens when one of the "no bracket needed" bags actually does get stuck in your rear tire and you go sliding down the road. As I'm sure other members here have said in other threads, you don't need to buy the expensive brackets that Suzuki sells (although I got them as a present so I didn't have to pay for them). I'd imagine that you could rig up any of a number of VERY inexpensive brackets using only hardware from your local ACE/Home Depot/Lowe's/whatever. I"ll search the intergoogle for a while and see if I can find any ideas that you might be able to use. Those do look like some nice bags, but I think 14" might be a little too tall (if the description above the picture is correct); the Suzuki ones are 12" and I burned my right one a little bit on the muffler a few weeks ago. I'd say that you'll want to look for some that are only around 10" high (which is what the caption underneath the picture says) if these are actually the 14" high, but it's probably just a typo. Otherwise, these seem like they'd be a perfect fit on a GZ.
