I wanted to be able to remove my fender packs when i don't need them...but i also like the security of the bolt-on design, rather than the strap on type of packs.

Here is my solution.

Purchase the required amount of Clevis pins, and hitch pin clips from your local hardware store.

Chuck the pins in the worlds smallest vise and use a cutting wheel, or hacksaw to cut them just above the first hitch pin hole. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WEAR SAFETY GLASSES!!! Cutting wheels have a tendency to fly apart whenever they want to...and riding is tough with one eye.

Then chamfer and smooth the rough ends with the worlds smallest bench grinder. *I have a pretty small garage, so you will notice many of my tools are also of Lilliputian dimensions

Now, you have used the bolt holes in your fender pack as a template to drill the appropriate holes in your fender. Here we see the trimmed Clevis pins with washers inserted into the underside of the fender holes, and epoxied in place.

Here we see the finished product from the top of the fender. This is the way it will look when you don't want to lug around your packs.

Now, you can use the hitch pins to secure your fender bag in a snap...and still take it off easily!!

And the finished product, the way it looks when you don't want to take your packs.
