Steve, you should have called me on this one!
Tim Gardner made a bridge for the master saddle. Using those two tie-ins that you have in your pic won't give you the range of motion that you seek IMO. I believe someone attached a piece of 8mm cord to the bottom of that saddle where the leg straps clip in.

Can you? Probably.
Should you? Now that is the question. I put one on mine about 2 years ago and have been quite happy with it. It changes the dynamic of how the saddle holds your weight and some might say that it is not how the manufacturers intended for the saddle to work. I spoke with a gentleman at Buckingham and explained what I was doing, and it seemed kosher to him, though I don't know his credentials. I believe his name was Steve Hall, but don't quote me on that.
What saddle is that? Versatile? Mine is a Master II. How do you plan on attaching the bridge to the saddle? Might you be able to get us some clearer pics?
love

ps-There was a lengthy thread a while back where I put some pictures of my bridge. I be bored enough later to go look for it.
