Newb Question about mounting a sissy bar?

[Imreallycrazy]

I Just purchased a 1980 GS550E this week from the guy who had driven it from the past twenty years. One of the first things I want to do (after general cleanup from the bike sitting for a year) is to add a sissy bar/luggage rack to hold my lunch box or whatever, and some saddle bags. I have been looking at some sissy bars on Ebay, but I'm not quite sure if they will mount on my bike seeing as it (my bike) only has (at least that I can see) one bolt-in mount directly in front of the rear turn signals (right below the back end of the seat). Can someone tell me if this, or some thing like it will work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/suzuk...mZ120304976754

Thanks for any help!

Mine is held on by the shocks nuts in the front and in the rear its held on by the turn signal bolts.But mines a 80 gs 750l it may be different.

I'll try to get some pics tomorrow after work (to dark right now) to illustrate what I mean.

If your bike looks like this then i dont have a clue.Hopefully someone else that has one will pipe in.

Pictures

Ok, Just get some close up pics of the area I am assuming a sissy bar would mount to.

The Left hand side

The Right hand side


You can see the mounting area I'm talking about, best in the right hand side pic, about 2in in front of the turn signal.

Thanks again for any help!
