Well, I'm cheap.

1 4" cap from the irrigation section at Home Depot, 1 adapter from the same section, 2 pieces of flat plastic, and one pin to lock it together.

Pre-assembly:

Judicious use of jigsaw, drill, and hacksaw:

I didn't take pics of it, but the two flat pieces of plastic are simply a piece of lexan inside and another outside to sandwich the bottom of the bag and provide support to keep the bag from drooping too much.
 
Finished. Debating if I want to paint the mount black so it will look better when the bag is off or not..

Also still need to cut off the original strap mounts so they can't hang down, but I want to get some more testing done first. It seems to work fine in town.
