OK Guys,
Here is what I did and what it looks like.
You really cannot see the pins with the saddle bags in place.
I took the seat off, got two 1/4 inch ball detent pins from the hardware store. The bolt is metric, but metric stuff is hard to come by. Those were the closest I could find. I then had to drill out the holes the bolts went into, basically just knocking off a tad of the threads so the pins would fit in.
There was nothing to it. To take off the seat simply pull the pins, to put it back on, line the pins up and stick them in. They are tight, I have had no problems of any kind with this.
I think that verslagen did some kind of pin mod as well, but I did not search for it.
