Maddghost,
Prolly wont find a cap nut that deep, but maybe you could find a spacer to drop on when the bags are off. Better yet, look for a bobbin shaped spacer that would hold a bungee cord.

the site only allows 5 pics per post Enjoy!! I'm going to put this in the under 50$ers thread! The gold colored plate is what I removed from the inside of the fender.

BTW the bags hang down straight plum solid as a rock.I used blue thread locker instead of lock wshers to save space..

Default Easy Bracket Pics (thread)

I went with the easy brackets. Can put them on and off in seconds and they are lockable. Easy to install, only took about 45 mins from start to finish.

Here's a link to a previous thread.

Enjoy,

Christian

Joe - as long as your QD stuff matches up with your easy brackets, it's a pretty clean/easy system. My QD and easy brackets use different mounting posts and I'm still working and getting it all to work.

I tried to post this picture but it severely bloated the thread - hope this link works...
