Saddle bag brackets

I have a set of leather saddle bags from our host but found that there really wasn't any way of fixing them to my Bullet so that they looked right and were fixed securely. So this is what I have come up with, they are dead easy to fit and now my saddle bags don't move around anymore.
The other top rail bracket can be fixed into position by two good pop rivets or as I have done is to weld them on the same as the existing ones are.

Forgot to say that the bottom bracket is not seen as it is covered by the saddle bag.

Just to add, the saddle bags now hang vertical to the bike and not slopping in towards the top of the mudguards as before.

That looks really good on the bike. Are you intending to manufacture them..?

Will speak to our host and if it does not infringe on anything they sell, yes.

Have just spoken to them and they have no objections.
