Hey guys
I found online this cool product. A couple of days ago I was snapping the buckle on my OEM saddle bag and the male end broke. Looking at the bag it has a leather strap that loops out goes through the buckle end and then back and then it is riveted to the saddlebag. The only way to replace the buckle is to remove the rivets, refeed through the buckle and then rivet back to the saddlebag. The product I found has bolts at the attachment points, so you unscrew the bolts and cut the old buckle out with a wire cutter, slip the bolt through the leather loop and tighten down the bolt. Wala you have a new buckle. It took me a whole 2 minutes to fix this. I have included some pictures. The correct buckle size is 25 mm / 1inch.
