Ok, with all the talk the last few days about quick detach bags, and hours online looking at me options (I need a winter hobby) I have a plan. Without having my bike at home this winter to double check if this will work, I think I can get what I want without changing the looks, be able to take the bags off in under two mins without tools, and only spend $10. So here's my plan: take off the two top bolts in the bag, put on a soft rubber spacer, a wing-nut, and have a hole drilled in the stud for a cotter key to hold the wing-nut tight. For the lower brace, it will be something similar. So what do you think? It might not be high tech, or as user friendly as the barebacks, but I don't need a "wide load" sign as someone else posted. lol.

I like the wing nut idea though. Make sure and take pic's. I might copy if it gets the bags closer.
