Please help with saddlebags?

Hello and I thank you all.
If I buy the Harley Synthetic bags, 90564-06B, do they come with all of the hardware and all I need? Do I still need to buy saddlebag support hardware and all? Will they be detachable?
Am also considering Willie and Max Black Magic but I just like having Harley on them but even more I like not having the buckles on them and just being able to open them easier.
&nbsp\\;
Any help you can give would be great! Also, any alternates would be nice.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks
&nbsp\\;
Tom

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;I have the harley synthetic bags.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; 1. No brackets are needed.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; 2. All of the mounting equipment is included.
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; 3. You need to relocate the turn-signals.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbs p\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;you will need that "star type allen wrench" for the fender struts....
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbs p\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\ \;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\ ; I like them and keep the entire bike Harley.....just my opinion....

Thanks! Are they detachable as they come? I do not now have the detachable sideplates, do they come with the bag hardware? I have relocated turn signals. Used the Harley slant tag kit.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks, and I really think that may be the way to go.

I have these bags and they are not detachable.&nbsp\\; I replaced the mounting&nbsp\\;bolts with with two and one half inch 3/8' studs, eliminated the spacers behind the bags.&nbsp\\; Screwed studs into the fender mounting brackets, then used stainless steel locking nuts on the&nbsp\\;outside of the fender.&nbsp\\; The hardware will then stay on the bike, slide the saddlebags over the stud and used stainless steel locking nuts inside the bags.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Not the same as quick disconnects(which you can't get for these bags) but at least the bags can be removed for cleaning and all the mounting hardware and fenders stay aligned.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
