as many members here have done, i purchased the bolt kits for my saddlebags that make it easier and quicker to remove the bags from my venture without tools.
however, after chasing the bolts and the washers and the rubbers and the spacers all over the garage floor as you move the bags from the bike to the bench for cleaning or whatever??
i came up with a simple sullution to keep the junk together!
these are common to the automobile and bodyshops and called retainer clips that held the emblems on the fenders of cars, before they started gluing everything on.
also called star washers, and can be purchased at most hardware stores.
put all your spacers washers rubbers and stuff into place on the bags and then stick this retainer over the end of the bolts to keep everything together.
works, and it's cheap!
