Probably you are right. But if you have hard cases maybe you could consider finding a way to attach the time to the case itself, perhaps drilling 2 holes at the back of one of the 2 and have the tube there. Just an idea but it will depend on the shape/ material of the case and on whether or not you are willing to make such modifications to them.
Sure, hose clamps are strong and thin, but then you need to find a way to make them catch onto the tool tube 'lips'. Maybe cutting 2 small slits in the tube 'lip', with a heated flat screwdriver or something similar. Then you can have a hose clamp passing through them and around the panniers rack. Just an idea, I am not sure how solid it would be.
Fantastic video. Good idea. Well explained. I'll do it tonight
Thanks, nice video I got to of the bigger model and I’m looking to mount them on my Vstrom and this idea is quite the way I wanted to go
nice, about to mount a tool tube in that same place and i was wondering if anyone done it before. now i have the answer. thanks
nice job
This is a good way of doing it. However, you're interfering with the saddlebag's frame. It won't work for saddle boxes.

I am considering using hose clips (some call them hose clamps) as they are thin enough not to annoy the boxes. What do you think?

You're making hard what could have been the easiest way. You people are born talkative.
Was the installation process you found over complicated or its explanation on video? That I was born talkative it is probably true....
Nah. Don't listen to him.
