Default my own version of ezbrackets for saddlebags

hey all, this is my cheapskate version of ezbrackets. I took a piece of aluminum stock, cut it into peices, drilled and slotted two of the peices. Those go on the saddlebag supports. Used the other two to add rigidity to the inside of the saddle bag. Cut the yokes off of the saddle bag so I didn't have hang it over the rear fender. Used the extra leather as "gaskets" against the aluminum stock. My bags are a very thick and still leather, so it works on these. A thinner flimsy bag would probably not work. I used stopnuts on the U bolts, and on the roundhead allen bolts that poke through the bag. They stay tighter
