Or you could make a nice mount like WARG did. You can get the 312L here.

I was considering that too. Primary reason is that I am looking at bolting one of those car "safes" inside the bag for temporary storage of a... ummm.... shall we just say a specific item if I do a quick stop at any place I can't take it into. I figure the mount would provide a solid way to secure the "box" inside the bag.

LOL... I was waiting for someone to mention that

and I do agree with the 12 vs 6 debate, though I'll still feel better having the option to secure it if needed for those unexpected stops.

That's kind of what I was thinking they looked like too. Thought the rugged military-ish look just added a little something to the bags.

Alright, the bag arrived earlier this week, though I just finally got time to mount it and get some pics. Sorry for the poor quality, but it's from my cell phone. Hoping to get some better ones up soon.

And just in case someone is a little more interested in how the latches work, I took a few of the latch both closed and open.

The bag seems like it's made from good, thick leather and feels like it will definitely last. Mounting was easy, though at the moment I've only "temporarily" mounted as I want to build the mounting plate that has been posted on here. I'm really satisfied with the bag and can't complain at all. Looks great, well constructed and I'm sure I will get plenty of use out of it. Oh and they even sent me a free tin of "Garage Leathers Waterproofing and Conditioner" for the leather. Not a large tin, but I was able to do the entire bag and still have about half a tin left, so I can do another treatment later down the road.
