Question Anybody Have Saddlemen Supports?

Is anybody using Saddlemen's saddlebag supports and/or their quick release system? I am looking for pics and reviews, and how their quick release system works, and how well it works.

Thanks.

Anybody? Nobody? (Hmm... this isn't a good sign...)

Most use either the ghost brackets or easy brackets. I've got the easy bracket system on my FXDF. Easy to install...work great.

I like the Saddleman brackets. The bags are tucked in tighter against the bike than with Easy or Ghost brackets. A much cleaner look. Bags come on and off in seconds. The bag support brackets remain on the bike unless you remove the retainer nuts and pull the brackets. That adds another 10 seconds to bag removal if you want the bike stripped when not running bags. If youre planning on trying this system, make sure they send you 4 of the 3/8ths studs and retainer nuts. Theyre notorious for shipping a couple of 5/16ths studs that you probably wont be able to use.

Hey, thanks... just the info I was looking for. Do you have any pics? What are you using for bags?
