Default Saddlebag lock mods.

I searched and found some of the mods I have seen for the saddlebag security mods but the pic's are all gone. Can some of you guys repost your pics or let me know what you used and how you did it. Headed to Sturgis on Saturday and I want to get this done before I leave.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks guys.

Are you referring to how it is attached to the bike or just the lid lock?

If youre referring to securing the bag to the bike, just take out the quick release pin and the bronze capture hardware and replace it with a quarter inch bolt,lock nut, and fender washers.Put the lock nut on the inside of the bag so it will only turn with the bolt.I would think ya only have to do one on each bag and put it at the rear.

Thanks for posting my pic rocknrod.&nbsp\\; I cut the pin off after I decided how long it needed to be.&nbsp\\; I had to wait as my wife made saddlebag organizers to slide over the pins.

Ok so I get putting on the copper pipe caps but if your bags are locked wouldn't that be the only thing you need? If your bags are locked they could only wrench em off,now if the caps are over the bolts then they can't.
&nbsp\\;
So what's with all the changes with the locks inside the bags?
