I've been thinking about doing this too. I found that Native Custom Baggers makes a kit for it. It looks best as a weld on because you can get rid of the rivets, but you can also get the kit with chrome smooth top bolts to replace the rivets. It actually looks pretty good. The only thing is you have to be careful getting the old bracket off. I hope this helps.

I used the Native kit on mine. Check it out in my gallery. Went with the chrome screws as I wanted to break up the black some on the fenders, and I didnt want to spend the money respraying and working the fender.

Native route looks to be a little less work and cleaner results.
