I have Easy Brackets on 3 bikes and am happy with all 3 installations. One bike had a fender brace that wasn't quite straight and that caused the bag on that side to be a little tight when getting it on and off. A shim behind one mounting stud fixed that problem.

I went with Osprey Saddlebags and easy brackets and couldn't be more pleased. Bags are on a off in 30 seconds.

How about a 3rd choice, cycle vision's bare back, put them on the cross bones with the stock bags, on and off in a couple of seconds, plus I didnt have to drill out the bags for brackets and line everything up.

Ardbark I went with the Easy Brackets and they are great. Friend of mine has the Ghost Brackets and they too are very good. Attached is a couple of pics with and without. Sorry they are not the best but you'll get an idea. If you're interested, I'm selling the bags with the brackets, I went a different way with my bike. The bags are made by leather works and have the matching piping like the deluxe. PM me if you're interested.
