The "mid-fork" braze-ons on Rivs are designed for mini front racks, not low riders, so I doubt you will find any low riders that will fit the braze-ons on a Sam (but let us know if you do). The other option is to use hose clamps (which require a one-piece low rider rack) (or add braze-ons as mentioned, or get a Bomba fork which looks to have both mini front and low rider braze-ons).
