Default Saddlebag security DIY thread
I'm looking for a Saddlebag security DIY thread from years ago. The premise behind it was a 1/2" copper tubing end cap mounted between the bag and bike.

Yes I am aware of the Brukus setup, not what I'm after. I didn't want anything that required tools to get the bags off (I may change my mind there!)

Arvid did the thread. It was lost in the forum crash of 2007.
