Default is it possible to add saddlebags but retain qd backrest?

Hey everyone

I have a '12 wideglide and am wanting to add some saddlebags. So far everything I've come across uses the same bolts to mount the bag brackets as the qd backrest attaches to. I like the fox creeks saddlebags but they use easy brackets and it doesn't look like they'll work together. Any advice?

I used a set of easy brackets on my 14 lowrider with quick disconnect for back rest worked great.

It's not easy, but its do-able. Neither are 'adjustable'... so getting them both to work at the same time can be tricky.. but it is possible... I'm also running Easy brackets with the HD QD backrest/luggage rack.
