What I have found are some horror stories about how difficult it is to remove the bolts. I really don't want to have to fluck around with drilling and ****.
I like my Leather Pros bags, I didn't have to re-locate my turn signals. The install was easy, I like how fast I can remove them and that I can use the Harley backrest/rack with them.

This is the plate from the left side... I ended up with a "spare" because I didn't realize the bolt pattern was different on the right.
Made from a 1/4" piece of 6061 aluminum.

Great fix. On my Lowrider, with the "mid controls", after 25 miles, I was cramping up. After 50 miles, it got painful. After that, it was dangerous. I went with the forward controls, which allowed me to log as many as 500 miles in a day (with a back rest) with little to no problem. But, if they had another inch or two, of extended leg room, they'd be perfect. Seems you nailed it.
