how would i, should i, or could i connect the channels as to retain a left an right side i assume i would connect a left channel to f and r left bag and a right channel to f and r right bag?
or do i need a left and right to each amp for the bridge to work?
or does it not matter in the rear stage
What amp and speakers are you talking about? You could just run left output to left bag and right output to right bag

for now, ss1000.4 in each bag polk db6x9in each lid and not sure on 8s or 10s yet,.. try not to get lost in my crappy speakers when they grenade i will replace them. i wasnt sure if i need a left and right input to get 500watts output bridged since bridged is sum of left and right channel

I heard the bike belonging to Robert that Haze was referring to and that thing F'n ROCKED!!!!
I am actually modeling my next configuration after it, except that i am going to retain my lower fairing 6.5s, so that if i have to travel I can swap bags for non-sound bags, or less sound bags depending on what i come up with. That bike was definately no joke!

the objective here is to simplify the wiring by keeping each bag (self contained) one amp, 2 speakers, or maybe add another mid, horn etc? just wasnt sure how to keep left left and right right

so your saying 500 is too much, ok, i already have these amps to work with for now, as well as the 6x9 polks i will be purchasing some 8s or 10s maybe prvs, my options with these amps are 140 per channel
250 @ 2ohm parallel per channel
500 bridged frt
500 bridged rr
i want to buy the 8s 10s 4ohm each for future jl amps i would like to put one amp in each bag to keep the wiring clean other options would be 6x9s on one channel and prvs? on bridged channel? i have never done anything other than stereo installs (not very familiar with bridging )

If I was set on running that setup I would run the left channel RCA to the left bag and right channel to right bag. Use 'Y' splitters to the inputs of the SS amp in each bag. In the left bag use the left front output to the lt 6x9, don't use the right front output. Bridge the rear channels to the 8 or 10 in that bag. Do the same thing for the right bag. You should at the least use a boom mat on each 6x9. I tried a similar setup with different 6x9's and wasn't happy with any of them with 10's. I did another setup with 8's that did work with some 6.5's in the lids and boom mats.
