Uh, Define "work"?
The bags I have allow access to the passenger foot pegs, but the straps go over the rear seat, not the most comfy for a rear seat rider. But they do "work" with a rear passenger. We were just forced to add padding.
The only one's you find that don't mount with some strap/something over the seat are going to be hard bags with fixed mount plates, or very small side bags.
For the record, I've got Chase Harper ET4000's.
They hold a decent load of stuff, and with the included rain cover, were waterproof through all day rain.
I'll throw em over the bike and take a photo if you're interested.

Check out Cortech. I have the tail bag and it's quality stuff. Like stated earlier, your passenger will have to sit on straps, which shouldn't be much of a problem.

Looks like we forgot about Givi. While expensive, they do make a Mono Rack for the SH, so that you can have a hard case off the bag. Not "Saddle Bags", but will give the passenger a back rest.

That is the mount, then you'd have to pick out a case.

+1 on the chase harper et4000`s. I`ve been using a set for 10 years. Many 1 and 2 week long trips,never had anything get wet inside the bags. They`ll work with stock or high mount exhaust. The wife road on the back of the hawk for almost 3000 mi. in a week a few years ago, everyone fit fine.
