RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.
 \\;
I INSTALLED THE EAYBRACKETS ON MY 08 ST BOB. \\; THEY ARE NICE BRACKETS WITH A GOOD IDEA, BUT THEY DIDNT FIT QUITE RIGHT. \\; BUT AFTER A LITTLE FILING, SANDING, AND A WACK WITH THE HAMMER THEY GO ON NICE. \\; I INSTALLED THEM WITH HD DETACHABLE SISSYBAR MOUNTS. \\; THEY STICK OUT FROM THE FENDER AT DIFFERENT MEASURMENTS SO THE BRACKET HAS TO GO ON A BIT CROOKED, THUS THE HAMMER. \\; AND THEN I HAD TO FILE THE EDGES DOWN A BIT TO MAKE THEM SLIDE ON. \\; BUT OVER ALL THEY ARE NICE.
 \\;
I THINK SOMEONE HAS A BRACKET OUT, GHOST BRACKETS I THINK, THAT ARE ADJUSTABLE. \\; YOU CAN MOVE THE FEMALE PART OF THE BRACKET AROUND FOR A BETTER FIT. \\; THIS WOULD HAVE ELIMINTED THE FILING. \\; BUT I BET THOSE WOULD LOOSEN UP AFTER ALL THE BUMBS AND WHAT NOT. \\;

RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
I dont think it really matters, theres not a whole lot of difference between them
I hear more stories about the Ghost brackets rattling after they've been run for a while.
I have Barebacks and they're not supposed to rattle at all. After 10k, they rattle.

RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
i have ghost brackets and after a 3 day 1,000 mile trip i need to get out the file and a hammer (not too mention that i also needed to tighten all bolts down once i got to the destination). nothing i do will make those puppies go on or off easy.
RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
do you need them on all the time? i took my detachable sissy bar apart and then use u bolts to hold that to my saddle bags... works great and cost me 25 bucks for the bags on ebay... here are some pics... a bit off your topic just wanted to toss it out there

RE: Ghost brackets vs Easybrackets
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
