Wayne, that would work too either using the tie-downs that I used or the Bungee Buddies. There are also other products out there that would accommodate other straps such as web strap tie-downs or velcro tie-downs. As mentioned before, a boating supply place would be a good place to look for ideas. I went with the way that I did it because i never have a rider on the back seat. I wanted to be able to strap a duffle bag or tennis bag behind me and not have to rely on just the grab handles or the stock tie-downs on the back. I also wanted to be able to still get into my side bags when I need to without unstrapping anything. You'll want to be careful not to put anything too heavy on top of either bag since the antler will be carrying the full weight when done that way but it certainly is doable in my opinion.
Edit: As said before, whatever you go with, be sure to go with a stainless screw and a decent size washer on the inside with a Nylok nut with a dab of RTV or silicone maybe to keep water out...even though my bags leak at the center joint anyway.
