In a word - no. Serious mods can be made to do it but you have to be pretty creative.

That particular adaptation of Pro-Link bags to a '79 I've seen as well and don't really care for how it was done. The owner doesn't either and may do some more fiddling. As I said before, it would be quite a job to do it and make it look right.

Re: fitting paniers
There were some Hondaline bags similar to the Prolink bags that were made for twin-shock models, thinking of the 900F, for example. Their brackets may be easier to adapt to an early '79
