My advice is to get your bags from leatherpros. The bags come with all the mounting hardware already attached and included in the price. I have easy brackets with viking bags and a set of xelement slanted leather bags, and to put it mildly, you get what you pay for. If you like your brackets to rattle, easy brackets are for you. Not to mention, bags that are universal really never look right. I learned this lesson with the purchase of the viking bags/easy brackets and xelement bags. I wasted half of the purchase price of the leatherpros bags by trying to go the inexpensive route only to not be happy. My leatherpros bags just arrived and will be putting them on shortly. Damn, they are friggin sweet. I should have bought these the first time and saved money.

+1 on that. I have to keep mine loose in order to get my bags on and off. Sounds like the bike is coming apart every time I go over a RR track. I need larger bags (enough to hold a laptop). Going to pursue that in the Spring and looking for more options.

I like the look of hard bags hopefully the bracket system will work out either by custom fit or different brand.

Either one too bulky. Love Cycle vision bareback. If you don't worry about lock, that's the way to go.
