Easy you need some different hangers.

Like these...

Bought these from a fellow member a couple of years ago so no link to a sales site I'm afraid.

However if you want them I'm willing to part with them...

You can do it with high levels by anchoring the straps to the subframe. Not sure how you would hide the brackets on low levels though. :think:

I have stubby cans so could the link pipe bracket hold the cans enough

You can't see them at all while riding, so all good there then.
Fixed!

And you only have to clean the clocks and bars, anything in peripheral vision doesn't need more then a wipe with a rag and everything else can stay dirty until the rain stops.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I wouldn't want to rely on just the low link pipe brackets on the footrests! I should think your stubbies would be wobblies quickly followed by gonies and then ferking noisies!!!!!
