quick saddle bag brackets

[oldbird]

Rode out to the hill country just above san antonio tx with some friends for 3 days to ride the 3 twisted sisters they are 3 roads that curve thru the hills so I ordered some ogio saddle bags for the trip awesome bags but I couldn't stand to see em rub against the body so we made some quick brackets.they worked well no scratches on the paint after a 900 mile weekend

Awesome! Great job!

+100. inquiring minds want to know details: specs of the brackets, mounting, etc.

Creative! I like it. Well done.

+1 Very good idea - and looks simple enough for most to do. Get them powder coated and they will last a long time.

Looks like a good way to prevent saddle bag scratches. Looks better than the green painters tape I used to cover the paint anywhere my bags touched.

Definitely very slick. Maybe i should do something like this instead of a trunk.
