Do throwover bags NEED a bracket?
Can you keep the bags out of the moving parts without a support bracket?

I can't speak for all bikes or all bags but I mounted Willie and Max Ranger bags on my Bob with no support bracket. \\;

Wouldn't they blow around? Sounds like a paint scratch waiting to happen...

willie and max seem like a good option ... heck you can get em for around same cost as some easybrackets and without the support these make for some easily removable bags.
May get me some willie and max throwovers!

I use bags from
http://www.foxcreekleather.com/lugga...ebags/all.html fox creek...I bought the saddlebag fender guard as well. \\; More expensive but nice bags...I have an 2006 Dyna Low Rider. \\;
I did not have to move turn signals and they set on the axle bolts. \\; Ride between the shock and the taillight. \\;

I'd say it depends on the size. The smaller ones pictured above \\;seem to do fine witout the supports, but bigger ones like mine need help.
