Saddlebag quick detach pins

After reading about saddlebags falling off i decided to replace my front pins with bolts and nylock nuts. As you can see in the pic the pin on the left the ear is bent out and looks about ready to break.

That is what allot of guys do is replace them with bolts, you can find the anchor nuts and slide them on the bag brackets so it makes it easer to get the bags off.

Went out myself today and picked up some clevis pins, hitch pins and fender washers. Going to do replace just the rear factory pins. The fronts are hard to get to with the seat overhang.

Best Idea for security! cheap and very effective! We had a thread on this a few weeks ago. I use them to good advantage!
