Aha, here's where the saddlebag bracket thread is! I'm making my own set of these with a little bit of a different tweak. I'm using 1/4" steel rods instead of 1/2" tubes (I didn't realize how easy they'd bend when I heated them, so I went thin). Then, instead of banging the ends flat, I used a 1/4" 20-thread die to thread the ends of the rods, then I used 1/4-20 coupling nuts and eye bolts. I'll post pictures once I finish up tonight or tomorrow.

Wish I had found this thread before I started. I would've gone for the bigger steel tubes and flattened the ends. Much cleaner look than my solution.
