Default Saddle Bags Question

I recently purchased a 1980 Suzuki GS450 with 14,000 miles on it and it seems to run well for its age (and passed state inspection). I'm not sure of the submodel, but based on the fuel tank size when I filled it up compared with the Clymer manual it looks like it may be a 450L or 450LZ. The tank looks like it could be original but I'm not sure.

I am looking for recommendations on good saddle bags for this motorcycle for short trips around town or longer multi-day trips. What brands are good? Which would be easiest to mount on this model (I would rather not have to move any existing parts to get the bags to fit)? Which ones would be the best value?

Thanks for the help.
