I think the easiest solution would be to buy the ones that would fill your needs and cut off the center throwover piece. Add bag supports to the bike and just bolt them in place using the same support bolts. Give it some thought. As you know the GZ has few options compared to many bikes on the market.

It is easy enough to punch new holes in a leather bag to fit the bolt pattern, and like said above, you need the bag supports, which will come with longer bolts. Those bolts may be long enough. I found it easier to remove the bottom shock bolt, jack the bike and let the rear wheel drop. But I do have an advantage, in that I have a lift and a jack in the shop. I also used body washers on the bolts inside the bag.
