It's going to depend a bit on the specific bag, but a common one drapes across the frame under the seat. So, you would take the seat off, put the saddlebags across the frame, then put the seat back on. One thing to consider: you may also want saddlebag supports. Those are bits of chrome that sit between the inside of the bag and the back wheel...keeps the bag from accidentally rubbing against the back wheel.

The Western saddle was made for the cowboys, who needed something to help anchor the rope to after roping a cow. This is where the Western saddle was invented, designed for comfort for long days of hard riding in the saddle, and for usefulness, which is why it has all the little straps to tie things to, perfect room for saddle bags and such, and with the saddle horn having the direct purpose of dallying the rope. The English saddle was not used by cowboys, and therefore, there was no use for a saddle horn, so there is nothing there.
