how are they getting to the hinge if the bag is locked. I think your worrying to much. put the bolts in to replace the dezu fasteners and lock your bags.

Bro!! where are you parking your bike that you are more concerned of the speakers getting stolen and not the give? In my opinion the standard lock is fine. Also i haven't heard too many speakers getting stolen only bikes.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Go to the hardware store and replicate the Brukus kit...runs around $5 for the clips and star bolts + bit.
