Default Docking Hardware

I was hoping all you riders could help out me and everyone else looking for the best docking hardware to mount saddle bags on their bike.

I've done a search on this, but was hoping for our benefit, if anyone can post pictures of their docking hardware. That way, it'll help us make up our mind rather than just reading that everyone thinks theirs is great.

These are photos of the HD detach hardware. You can also see the turn sig relocation hardware. The new HD standoffs for the turn signal relocation look much better than the older ones which had ugly studs.

The detach hardware in the pics is for both luggage rack and bags. It is actually two kits piggybacked. I now have caps to cover the studs when not being used but even without them, I did not think it looked too bad.

Default Barebacks

I have Bubbas Barebacks, with a quick release sissy bar. I like the functionality but not the way they stick out when the bags are off.

I have gotten used to it and usually only ride with the sissy bar off, and only remove the bags for cleaning.

I am interested in installing some sort of space filler between the bags and fender. Just a matter of time.
