Default Fixing saddlebag mount covers

What brand of mounts/covers are these? My right sides need to be replaced/fixed. The rear mount is held in via magnet, and the front seems to be attached permanently. The front right came off but I believe it can be JB Welded.

Yep, thats the Joker Machine emblem.

If you try to reuse the front one, I wouldnt use JB Weld. Maybe something a little easier to remove if you ever decide to.

Apparently they are custom, I called JM and was told they have never made those types of covers. Any idea where I can get the parts I need for these?

How can I get my OEM saddlebags to work with my bike's mounts? I think the OEM hardware is made for a permanent install, is there a quick-detach conversion I can buy?

Get some ⅜” threaded rod (all thread) and cut pieces long enough to secure your fender to the struts using jam nuts to hold everything tight and have the all thread stick out enough to hang your bags on and use acorn nuts and washers to secure bags. You can use your sissy bar quick connect hardware as well unless you’re not running a sissy bar then you can toss the plastic quick connectors and make things a bit cleaner. The hog works covers will probably still work.

all-thread instead of the screws here

This is with the sissy bar on, you think I can run the bags at the same time?
