I know its pricey but to me it was worth it. Im sure there are cheaper bags out there that you can do the same with. I liked this one because of the size and shape. Its also just the right size and matches the stitching on the seat.

If you find another bag you should be able to make a bracket for that too. Use the same concept for the bracket just cutting the piece to the size/shape of the bag you use.

One other thing I didnt add to the instructions is I used a torch to cut the steel. I guess if you dont have a torch you may be able to use snips but youd have a lot of grinding to do on the edges.
