can anyone post some pictures of saddle bags mounted ? looking for some better ideas then the stock plastic clips & rivets they give you.
i have seen some guys using bolts & circle pins to fasten stuff firmly. trying to mount yamaha 1 pc soft saddle bags on an 07 attak.

thanks
 
I just installed my saddle bags the other night. Not sure if this is what you're looking for or not:



 
was looking for alternatives. i have broken those clips in the cold before. or they slip. some guys have come up with some pretty sturdy mounting ideas that are also quick & easey.
thanks
 
clips

those 1" clips that come with the bags are no good. the strap slipps right through.
i took my bag to a guy and had the 1" strap replaced with 1 1/2" straps and installed the larger 1 1/2" cam buckles on the tunnel. it is much stronger and does not slip.
the strap that yamaha uses is also too soft and thats why it slips.
