Thanks all for the input and I will take your advice Haertig about keeping it away from the back and move it to the front. This set up is primary used when traveling through countries and not through jungle or woods and that is why the back mount wasn't as big as a concern. But all it takes is me slipping on a road or something and that would be the end of that, I think if it was in the front the damage would not be as permanent (hopefully). When I carry the bottle off road it usually stays in a pack, this is mostly traveling in and about cites and suburbs and the idea of keeping it a little hidden just keeps the strange looks from the locals and the LEO's from checking my bottle because I stand out from the norm even though all it has is water in it. Blending in with the crowd as much as possible is a plus, this set up is far better than my vertical set up, it just has noise. Anyway thanks every body for the comments, I still will be brainstorming.

hikermor, the bottle has a fitting the same way the knives stay in there sheaths, it holds the water bottle full or empty with no problems and can be deployed in seconds. Great design except for noise.
