Question Bungie Strap brackets - whadda think?

Greetings,

The one thing the Vaq doesn't have are tie down points for bungie cords when hauling something small, or odd shaped that will not fit in the bags.
So whipped up a set of these.
What do you guys think? Look ok? Or are they really ugly and they should go bye-bye?

They look alright - Looks like you took the time to finish them to where they may look alright after being on there for several years.

Besides no Bungee hooks (I use my Yamaha Trunk Rack on my Voyager), Why no Helmet Hook?

I wouldn't worry too much what other people think but I think they look fine. I have the option to use the factory saddle bag supports on the Voyager as they are accessible unlike the Vaquero. There are a lot of home built options here.....good to see people :-)
