I have a Barley, no support needed for me on a 56 Riv Road. It's a nice size for a day ride in transitional weather, just big enough for the essentials and an extra layer or two of clothing.
It's never been on a sprung Brooks, but have had my Nelson on a Champion Flyer. With the bag suspended from the sadldle loops, the springs cut way into the bag's capacity. I preferred it with the straps through the bottom coils of the springs even though it then sits more horizontal than I would like. The loop springs of a B72 may not pose so much of an issue. I don't think a Bagman would mount to a B72, so if you need a support the SQR would be the best bet. I suspect that on most bikes a Barley isn't big enough to rest on a Hupe.
