I'm going to wait to install my Shoei Saddlebags before I get to painting.
And savrip is right. Nothing to do with a Paint Can. I'm going to have to
get that exact Suzuki color and have everything professionally done right.

Okay...here's the pictures I promised of my off-the-shelf Home Depot
mounting hardware that needed to be a lot longer than what it came with.
Pretty self-explanatory from the pictures. I just used an ordinary Door Bracket
with a Clamp to go on the Turn Signals with another smaller Clamp widened with
one end sandwiched between the larger Clamp and the other end attached on the long
Bracket that also attaches at the other end of it to the bolts that mount up the Headlight.
I used longer 6mm Bolts ( than those shown in pictures ) on the other parts but I did use the
supplied 6mm Bolts that connect up by the Headlight. Wrapped the Brackets with Electrical Tape
and I used plenty of neoprene gaskets, metal washers & 6mm nuts with secondary back-up wing nuts.
The Clamps ended up being at the 12'oclock position up on the Turn Signals to make it a perfect sized fit.
I'm really amazed how quickly and easily this all worked out the first time I did it. If I can do it so can you.

Note: The 3rd picture shown was the theory. In practice I had to reverse the Bracket
from that shown. The Bracket hole was on the lower edge that fitted on top of the
Turn Signal with the Bracket hole mounting by the Headlight on the upper edge.
