Installing Saddlebags

If this is in the wrong forum, please move it. I am not quite sure where to post this.

I have an 06 Super Glide and looking to buy a set of rigid mount HD saddlebags. Can I use easy brackets (or some kind of detachable hardware) to install these bags? Or can you only use a rigid mount?

Thanks Folks

Easy brackets will not fit yet. But they are working on a solution for 06 Dynas. They told me March as date of delivery.

RE: Installing Saddlebags

Did you look at some of the aftermarket bags? By the time you buy the bags from HD and the brackets to make them removable it may be cheaper to go with an aftermarket. I put a set of Boss Bags on mine for an extra $35 over what the HD Big Bags would have cost at the dealer.
Do a search on this website for saddlebags and you will find many posts about this.

Take a look at the "Leatherlyke" bags. They are easy on and off ( 1 minute either way), and they lock and look pretty good. They work pretty good for me.
