Yes, as long as you are willing to replace the entire rear frame of the bike and that would probably include the trunk and mounting hardwire.

Short answer is no.

MKII (1986-1993) bags have been installed onto MKI (1983-1985) before, but it requires much more than just obtaining MKII bags. I believe the subframe must be changed from MKI to MKII, and the MKII saddlebag guards must be installed to the MKII subframe before the MKII bags can be installed.

The rear turnsignals have to be changed as well.
