RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
ORIGINAL: wideglidebob
i have the easy brakets when loaded they are just ok, when empty i thought i had thrown a rod they rattled so much i called the manufacture and he said chimm them so they are crooked, give me a break, so i would say it sounds as if they all rattle i just woulden`t invest in the exp ones if you can buy them for 99 bucks they prob will rattle too, but your spending less

RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
I have had the easy brackets for the last two years and when the hard bags are full they don't make much rattling noise but if they are a bit empty they rattle a fair bit.
I like em because they lock on and you can key them off in an instant, really handy for wheel changes, shock adjustment \\;etc

RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
Hi,it maybe depends on wich bags you have.Maybe easybrackets and ghostbrackets works better with saddlebags with soft backs
Barebacks can not be locked but it maybe possible to attach a fine wire with nyloncover and a small lock to secure them a little bit.
And also use same wire to lock the helmet to the bike,just wondering.But i also like the barebacks and will most likely buy those.
My bags are these:OEM 90564-06B
And i don´t like what overhead wrote about the easy brackets :sounding like a trash truck going down the road.[:@][:@]

These are what I am using. They are great, easy and do not rattle. Only problem, they do not lock. This did not bother me at all. I would highly recomemend them.

I've got barebacks on my 05 wide glide with HD hard back bags # 79078-02. \\; They don't lock but they come on and off in seconds and never rattle. \\; I looked quite a bit and found these. \\; \\;They are great. \\;

I just got the Barebacks even though they don't lock. \\; After reading through the posts and searching on info, the Ghost and Easy brackets reportedly rattled if the bags were empty. \\; I like the cleaner look of the Barebacks too.

Do the Barebacks work with the detachable sissybar on a FatBob? These look like a great choice but didn't see anyone mention this? Thanks

Easy Brackets
I prefer the Easy Brackets over the Ghost brackets. I have had both, but ended up hard mounting my bags because I left them on 95% of the time anyway. If you want to find out cheap, I have a set of Easy Brackets for sale in the Classified section (Post name: Dyna Accessories)for $100. I only used them one trip and they worked fine. They do rattle a little when you leave them empty so I used a washer as a spacer on the front mounts only and that made a hugh difference.
