very nice.

Neat idea, but how about using an old inner tube rather than a belt? I don't think you would even need to drill the bar, just loop the pieces of tube around the bar and use fender washers to hold the rubber around the mounting screws in the wall.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that this was the third iteration of these. The problem that I found with the inner tubes was that they would stretch out when I put a heavier bag onto the handlebars, that would then mark up the wall. Also tubes tend to dry out and break over time.
