Cool I am glad everyone loves them as much as I do. Here are the specs for the nerds among us:

-The hooks are drawer pulls now that I think about it, real cheap and easy to find.
-I used big washers inside of the bucket to disperse weight, I am thinking of custom cutting a piece of sheet metal for superior strength but it shows promise as is so I might not mess with it.
-For maximum waterproofing I put a bit of white plumbers tape around the part of the screw going into the plastic so the pressure of the bolt would seal the tape into the hole.
-These only stick out an inch or two past my handlebars and they are just low enough to drop the center of gravity but still give me clearance for feet and ground.
-They are actually a bit noisy and I was thinking of lightly padding the inside as well as putting rubber on the hooks to also protect the paint.
-The top container has actually just been removed a few minutes ago (that was for groceries, not even really a serious thing) so I could figure the tent set up. I have a 4 person tent but it was given to me for free, only used once, and is very nice quality so I figure it means I can store my bike and gear in the tent also to protect my things.
-I am going to get the items needed to make my "shower caps" soon so I would love to hear of any other ideas I could take into consideration until then.

Thanks everyone, I am getting ready for a short camping trip by myself soon (tomorrow-ish) and will cover about 100 miles or so and get my first feel for the open road. Exciting!
