I do not know, but I have seen them and think they look great. I am wondering about that process too.

Ebay brackets

Cycle Vision

I ended up buying older shovelhead hardbags that came with brackets. I had to weld up some things for additional support, but I suppose it turned out OK.

Yep cycle visions brackets are great buddy. Snug bags close enough to option out fillers imo. Plus solid!
