The Suzuki supports are very simple - they require that you remove the shorter bolts holding a trim piece or something on the fender, and replace them with longer bolts that allow for the inclusion of the supports and some spacers. If you publish the distance between the center of the two bolts on your rear fender for your 2001 we can confirm if it is the same as 2005-2009. I suspect yes.

I have the supports - they were a little tricky to install but basically do what they claim, if not very elegantly. If you have smallish hands (as I do) you'll get the hang of it, but I wouldn't call it a slam dunk. There is little connection/relation between the design of them and the official GZ Suzi Saddlebags (you basically tie the bags to them with a shoelace at random points of your choosing.) I might have gotten it wrong as there were no illustrations or instructions.

Personally, I think the Suzuki saddlebags suck, and for a variety of reasons, but that is another discussion.
