A total of about 4 hours, and lets see.......
Saddlebags - $26 off an e-bay vendor
brackets materials - $ 14.50
Could have ordered brackets, but spending the day with my daughter making and painting these, way too much fun, they may not be the prettiest, but they work great, and you cant see them.
It was suggested to just reinforce the inside of the bags with board or fiberglass, but they were too long for the exhaust ( every spirit owner knows abot that ), plus the taillights had to be moved....so here is the final product
