No brackets were needed. I just used the mounting hardware that came with the bags. They have been secure and never shifted since they've been on. I had the shop take a peek at them when I took the Beast in for maintenance, and they said they were fine. The only thing you will probably need is a longer bolt because the bolt included is a tad short. There is also a video on the site that kinda explains the installation. There are three types of installations. I did the detachable mounting where I can take them off if needed.
