Well I've got the detatchable backrest hardware and scabbed on to that I've got the Easy Brackets hardware so yes, I guess I have the "Frankenstein Bolt" look. I can't remember what type of bags these are but here's a rear shot of my Deluxe. My only concern is that the bolts are sticking so far out, I worry that they will snap off or bend if I hit a big bump while the bags are fully loaded.

Thanks for all the input and the pics!
Just got off the phone with Boss Bags, they are real helpful on the phone. Since I am concerned about the bags hugging the scooter, they suggested that I take a look at their new 37 springer model. It's a springer style contoured lid and the back is molded to hug the bike with hardley no gap between the two, unlike the flat back with a bracket. I took a look at their pictures online, pretty nice looking! I kind of like the look from behind. I'm rethinking it now, I kind of think I like the shape for the fatty.
Thanks again
