Peter White sells this one which looks a little cleaner I think, but the one from Velo Orange has the advantage that it could be mounted higher or lower depending on the amount of seat post showing and could thus be used for different sizes of saddlebag.

There are a few options available directly from www.carradice.co.uk.

Don't quote me on this, but the Bagman racks have been out of stock (at Peter White, Wallbike, et al) for years.
If anyone has more recent info, I'd be interested.

Most places are out of stock including directly from Carridice. But, I did send an email off to Peter White earlier this month and they said they only have the Bagman Expeditions in stock. I too have been searching for a saddle bag support for my Acorn bag. My main reason is to get it away from my legs while riding.

hello
I use the Bagman Support. I think it's the cleanest looking of the bunch and holds the bag well even without saddle loops.

I'll be getting a duffel rack pack. It has 15L (931 ci) capacity with a 9" x 14.75" dimension. This bag is designed to be strapped to a rear rack with 2 compression velcro straps.
Since I'm going the ultra/light touring/bikepacking route, I'll need to strap it to the saddle rails. It'll be filled with 7 lbs. (+/-). I do have a Jandd Expedition rear rack, but I'm in the process of selling it.
