Default Easy Brackets

I finally realized I needed a way to remove my saddlebags so I can give my bike a good cleaning. I Purchased a set of Easy Brackets from JP Cycles. The install was very easy. The studs on the strut covers are clean so it looks good when the bags are off. The Brackets are strong and well made. They hold the bags off far enough that I did not need to relocate my turn signals and they don't rub on the shocks anymore. They are a little stiff going in place but I am sure they will wear in. Here are some pics taken with my camera phone.

I did the same thing. I fliped a coin and bought Edge/Ghost Brackets.

Looks good Mud. I'm planning, when finances dictate, to do that myself. I desperately need some storage when out riding.

I have a set of them also and I think they're great. One thing I did a little different is I left the part of the throw over that goes under the seat on my bags and tuck it behind the brackets to hide them a little. A little cleaner look in my opinion.

Dude if you already have your rigid mount bags check my fix on page 126 of the under fifty bux thread!

I have the brackets and I like them for the most part. The only issue I have had is the nut that holds the locking assembly in tends to vibrate loose. If you happen to have the bags off the brackets again it would be worth your time to put some lock tight on them. When they get loose you will hear the rattle and it is a PITA to tighten them.
