Default Bare Backs & Sissy mounts -w- pics

I finally decided on the Bare Backs to make my bags detachable.
My main concern was how far out would they move the bags since I have the detachable
sissy bar setup now. (pics below)

Now the way I look at it, the sissy bar mount made the bags stick out to far to begin with.
IMO the added distance from the Bare Backs is not that much more.

Another concern was how the hell were these (Bare Backs) going to keep the bags tight against the bike.
The answer is the tight tolerance that they are machined.

Finaly. They do not lock.
Well if you have a siren on your HD security system, I am sure that removing the bags would shake the bike enough to set that puppy off.

To summarize.... I highly recommend Bare Backs.



Without and With Bare Backs on bags...

I used Easy Brackets in addition to the HD detachable back rest. These hold my bags closer than the chrome bag supports I had before and my bags don't flop around while riding. They lock to the bike as well.
