Ghost Brackets, Easy Bracket, Bare Backs
I am looking to add the synthetic bags to my 2008 FXD and wondered if anyone had any input, thoughts, feedback, etc.
Any problems with any of the options?

RE: Ghost Brackets, Easy Bracket, Bare Backs
I have the Easy Brackets and they work well for me. I also have the detachable sissy bar which causes the bags to hang a little further from the bike than I would like, but beyond that I am happy. If you go with easy brackets I would advise you to loosen the nut that holds the key cylinder in place and use some lock tight on it, mine did vibrate loose a couple of times and it caused a rattling noise. \\; I do not have any experience with other brackets. \\;

I am happy with the Easy Brackets, if you order them I would also get the carrying strap if you plan to take them on and off the bike much, it is quite handy for carrying the bags back and forth.

RE: Ghost Brackets, Easy Bracket, Bare Backs
Barebacks here. Thought about the Ghost and easy brackets. What I found is that if you use HD bags with the hardened back that is not completely flat they (Easy and Ghost) is that you will have to find a way to make them work since the back is not flat. I am sure it will work, I just did not want to mess with it and the barebacks were easy to install and well worth it after wards. Good and bads of them are the barebacks do not lock, but there are reports that Ghost and Easy rattle. So it depends on what you are doing. if you are using just normal all leather bags, go with Easy or Ghost for sure. Otherwise, simplicity may push you to barebacks. I have not found anything neg. with them so far.
