Fatz, no adapting needed. I will post up pics - I just fitted some to my 09 AW. The issue for me was the Corbin saddle. On a stock DX seat, just slightly shorten the hinge pins on the left side, and remove the tether. Gas stops mean lift the seat, slide off the hinge, set to the side. Gas up, replace the seat. I am waiting on back ordered F passenger footrest brackets. You lose the DX passenger footrests when you mount F bags. Joe
