Looking for a VO Viva Saddlebag Support

Anyone have one they're interested in parting with?

I have the old "large" Acorn saddlebag on a Brooks Flyer. The bag
hangs funny and rests on the springs. It's hangs too far from the
seat post to somehow secure it there or to use a stand-off. I need it
to stand back from the seat post about 5 inches to sit "right."

Looks like perhaps the VO Viva Saddlebag Support might work here.

Please let me know if you've got one or another idea.

Thanks!

I'm surprised. Are you saying a 5" standoff is just too long? That may be. But I also have an old-style Acorn "Large" saddlebag and am able to use it with a stand-off I made. It might've been 5"; I don't know. But I definitely had my saddle slammed back and am able to use the bag with this standoff. I'll have to measure it all.

Good luck with your ViVa search!

Yours,

Would you elaborate on the stand-off? I assume you mean some sort of
device or method of keeping the bag aft of the post such that it sits
more upright. If we're on the same page, please let me know how you
managed this.

Cheers
