I bought the 3.42&1.8kg kit for my CG5. I think the Sirius is the same as the Skywatcher EQ5 or HEQ5, so they should fit. Both Brad and David (I think?) are very helpful and will tell you if they won't fit.

The counterweights on my CG-4 fit the bar on my Sirius.

How about having Ken Dauzats or Dan Crawford making you one?

I confirm that CG5 and Sirius/HEQ5 use the same counterweights.
I recently bought an aditional 3.5 Kg Skywatcher counterweight for my CG5, it's identical with the 5.1kg stock Celestron one, just smaller.
