Default Quick Detatch and Easy Brackets???

How far out does the the combination of QD and EBrackets put the saddle bags? I have a set of Harley Dyna hard bags and would like to go with a quick release set up. Anyone with good pictures and comments?

HD's QD setup adds another inch to the system when you use Easy Brackets
Total you'll have the bags spaced off the bike a taste under 3 inches

These are Ghost Brackets but they are about the same.

Yeah, I tried them and from the rear they look like yours. But I couldn't handle how far out they looked like from the front. Reminded me of training wheels. Still looked for something else before starting over.

i had hd qd backrest and easy brackets... I didnt have a problem when the bags were on the bike, but when they were off you have those mounts sticking off the strut like 1.5-2.5 inches or more...

Recently sold the hd qd sideplates and mount and want to go with haulen *** backrest... To eliminate some of the stuff sticking off the strut.

ARCHERGOODWIN has a picture of them with the bags off. They stick probably about an inch. Send him a PM if he doesn't get to this which I'm sure he will soon.

Here's a pic of mine from the rear.

FWIW . I'm using barebacks QD's with Harley bags (no EZ Brackets) and they look about like what the previous poster has. Maybe a "hair" closer.

This is how far they stick out, with no bags mounted:



The rear sticks out 1.75" to the tip, from the fender strut cover.

Thanks for the pictures and comments. I may wait and see if I can get a used set of Easy Brackets or such. Hate to buy new and then decide that I don't like them. I do want the QD for the bar.
