I'm not rich by any means but I can't afford to do things twice. I learned a few expensive lessons since I bought my bike last year. Now if there's something I want and can't afford it, I'll wait. It's a whole cheaper in the long run.

Mine are a pain in the butt to pull off. I think they got the powder too thick on 2 of the brackets.

I may end up changing my mind before this is all over.....

Thanks again!

I ran easy brackets for almost 2 years. Rattling is pretty bad, and now metal near docking point started to crack. Got my leather pro bags - so much better, will be selling brackets.

Exactly, I had the HD Leather bags and the quality is excellent, problem was the WG Bobtail fender on my Super Glide wouldn't allow me to do what I wanted, finally ditched that Bobtail fender, went back to the stock round and bought the LP Retro bag. 99% of the time the bags are left home, but they'll come in handy on the few short weekend trips I take a year. Love the bags and never looked back or regretted the purchase.

there are different spacers depending on if you run a inside or outside backrest support. They MUST be even or they won't go.
