I'm all for do it yourself but you can buy the Reda Bolts on Revzilla for less than $20. Yours look good too though!

Interesting approach. Do the ***** cause any problems getting liners or large items out of the saddlebags?

I swapped mine out with a couple of stainless socket cap bolts and U-nuts I had laying around the shop. I tossed an extra allen wrench in the bottom of each saddlebags, too. Easier than digging one out of the tool roll if I'm away from my shop.

I got a set of Monkey ***** on my RGS15 and yeah they do kinda get in the way. I have a half shell helmet that I used to just be able to throw in my saddle bag. Now with the ***** I have to carefully slide the helmet down and back under the **** in order for it to fit. Not a big deal but it does take a little more time. So I imagine you might encounter some issues putting other larger items in there

I have the bolts as well, just in case. Theonly thing I've stuffed in there so far is my leather jacket, and it was fine.
