i replaced mine with allen screws and clip bolts as well.
HDRider,
Where did you get the Allen screws? I've looked everyplace I can think of locally and no one carries them. I guess I'll have to order online somewhere.
I can get chrome button head allen screws at Menards... But.... Thats not a ubolt ? Thats a cage (or facsimile there of) nut and an allen screw ?... I just went with the 3/8 pin in the front of the bags with a clip on it and im good to go.
I don't understand the use of the U-bolt. The original pin is only passing through a single hole. How do you adapt the U-bolt when you have just a single hole?

Sorry guys, I meant U-Nuts not U-Bolts! Here's a link to EZ48's post with pics on this mod:
Looks good.
Have the bags shifted all all? After a ride have you noticed the bags shifting?
The J-Nut sounds like a great idea. Just wondering if it ever slides at all on the bracket.
(also the threaded end goes away from the head of the bolt. Oposite side of where the bold protrudes into the bracket)
Thanks for the link and pics.
