Default Easy Brackets

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 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.

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.
