Old thread, new info... inexpensive source on eBay from Bagger Saddlebag Theft Deterrent System (STDs - clever name). Cheaper than other alternatives posted on forum, but can still probably go cheaper at the construction box stores.

I ordered a package deal from Brukus that included their saddle bag kit and I have been happy with it. When I need to wash the bags it takes about a minute per side to unscrew the bolt.

The ebay package appears to use just allen head and not torx security bolt.

Me too, only I went with a 1/2" bolt...those spring pins are way too cheesy to trust with my precious bags...
