I've never tried mounting BR on a low-rider rack, nto sure how close they would get to the floor?
You can mount BRs on a higher front rack bu it puts the weight up quite high and I only ever do it as an emergency thing for short trips across town etc. as it starts to affect the handling in a detrimental way.
eg: the below, which was an absolute pig to ride!
I think perhaps better to look at what kit you actually need and split the load between smaller front panniers on a low rider and a behind saddle bag or rack top dry bag at the back?
I've also got a fly on the back of mine, mounting is dead simple, bend the stay and then it bolts directly to a threaded eyelet on the underside of the 'brake' bridge.
