Saddle bag fender brackets

Does anyone have any ideas as to where one might find some brackets of some sort to act as fenders to keep throwover bags off the back wheel?

hi blue, made mine out 1-1/8" flat steel for front brace (mounts to shock top) 1" rear brace mounts to rear fender bolt top Z bend to clear shock and the back brace has a slight S bend, mine run down the shock about 3/4 lenght then cut back brace to lenght, to set it to the middle of your bags, think your making your own on this one, never found anything when I was looking

Thanks again Jayel! I was wondering what you did. Looks like a good solution. I'll take some good measurements and see if I can get a set of "easy brackets" first which might fit those two hole spaces. I had them on two prior bikes and liked them. Will let you know. However, it's not likely and fabbing something up ala your drawing seems most likely and lots less costly. I like the set up of 5 twins using Krauser Starlets too but; don't want anything that big (got em on my R90/6) on the 650.

ps off topic....got all the electrical gremlins exorcised and passed inspection this morning thanks to your help....owe ya! Blue
