Default Easy Brackets

Has anyone added Easy Brackets to their saddlebags on a Dyna? I have and '09 FXD but my problem is that I have a solo seat with the added Rigid Solo Rack PN52796-09. I am planning on taking a couple of weekend trips and I am looking for detachable saddle bags. Any input on easy brackets or the best type of bags would be appreciated.

Thanks
Larry

I'm not sure what your rigid mount rack has to do with easy brackets but there are many threads on the EB. Spending a few moments using the search function would yield a lot of information.

I have them on my '05 FXD. They're easy to install and easy to remove. I also have the rigid luggage rack and sissy bar, and the brackets don't interfere. The hardest part was attaching the bracket to the saddlebags so that they both line up.

I have the Easy Brackets and like them. Just choose the bags that you like, get them as big as you can (the slanteds work the best) and mount them at least 3/4" behind the shock coils.

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned with the rigid rack since I had to pull out some spacers but I guess it will work, gonna give it a shot thanks.

My sissy bar/rack hardware is rigid mounted, too. I just bought the Easy Brackets with the normal hardware, not the ones for QD sissy bars.

Go for it!

i bought easy brackets and mounted them to a used pair of zip off throw overs i found on ebay. added some plexiglass on the inside of the bag to the easy brackets had something to mount to. no problems at going this route. and it was much cheaper than buying expensive bags. just throwing that out there as an option to think about.

Try these out. I've had them on 2 dynas, very high quality and they come off and on very easy. They don't stick out as much as the easy brackets.
