Has anyone installed the easy brackets for thier saddlebags and how do you like them. I'm getting new bags and looking for some brackets. Thanks

 

I've got them on a non HD bike and they work very well. They also add about 3/4" to the overall width of each bag so if big hips are a real concern you need to take that into consideration.

 

I have the barebacks quick release hardware and love them.

 

it will add a little more than that if you have QR back rest.

 

Here is a pic from the back of my wifes sporty with easy brackets just so you know how far they stick out.

I tried the easy brackets on my 07 DWG. I have the detachable backrest and with the EBs the bags hung out so far as to be a joke. I sent them back.
Wish I knew more about the boss bag set up (hint- hint)

 

i have easy brackets and QR sideplates also. they do stick out a bit, but it was just enough for my larger bags to clear the axle bolts. i put a plexiglass ($10) backing in some used throwovers i got from ebay ($50) plus the easy brackets ($150). so i have a nice set of detachable saddlebags on my bike for around 200 bucks.

 

+1 great release system and no rattles.

 

Got mine here they are.

 

I really like mine on my WG. They work well, and the ***** look pretty good on the bike even without the saddlebags attached. I use the ***** to attach my Easy Rider bag when I'm not using the saddlebags.
