Racks for side bags

I want to use soft luggage on my bike but I can not figure out what side racks I want to use, any thoughts on this? I know some you have to relocate some stuff and I would rather not do that.

When I used soft luggage on two different motorcycles, that i wasn't sure i was going to keep. I bought a cheap pair of saddlebag hoops...intended for a cruiser, I was able to bend them carefully to fit both application, they gave good 'backside' support, and made good tie off points. Don't remember the actual cost, but they were inexpensive. They were made well enough that I think they would have lasted for a long time. Matter of fact i still have them , stored with the bags.

Thanks guys. I went with the SW-Motech, they looked the cleanest to me. Now if someone could direct me to where I can order some ambition I will be set.
