A clamp-on saddle bag mounting system preferably includes a base plate, a first pin plate, a second pin plate and a clamp unit. The base plate is secured to a saddle bag. The first pin plate is attached to a bottom of the base plate at a first end. The first pin plate is offset to receive a first end of the clamp unit. One end of the second pin plate is attached to a bottom of the base plate at a second end. The second pin plate is offset to receive a second end of the clamp unit. First and second mounting pins are inserted through the first and second pin plates. The clamp lever is pushed down to secure the saddle bag to a motorcycle. An offset mounting bracket is used to offset the position of a mounting pin on a mounting pin base of a motorcycle.
