If you are thinking of getting yourself some of the Wunderlich plates and bags that attach to the GSA crash bars then please allow me to make your life a little easier.
The plate that the bag attaches to is fixed to the crash bars by way of 4 p-clips. Now there is no room between the crash bars and the tank to get anything more than your little finger and the p-clips always want to spring out to their original shape. Therefore once you have got a couple of the clips bolted through it is very difficult to squeeze the other 2 clips together far enough to get the bolt through and then get the washer and nut on the back of it.
After much thought and much swearing the answer revealed itself. Get a small zip tie (the narrower the better) and position it around the back of the p-clip and zip it together round the front of the p-clip. You can then tighten the zip tie which will squeeze the p-clip together and leave plenty of the bolt thread poking out of the back.
A pair of tweezers can then be used to dangle the washer and then the nut in the right sort of position and you can just about hold the things in place with your little finger whilst tightening the bolt from the front.
I know this doesn't seem to make much sense, but trust me if you are trying to fit these things then this might just keep you sane.
Apart from the painful fitting though, the bags seem rather good.
