Another stupid question here, can you use these bags with a detachable backrest and does anyone have pics with it on a fat bob with the narrow or wide bags. Thanks

I went with the left smaller bag only. I have detachable backrest and easy brackets, which have the stud sticking out an inch. I had to cut a X in the side for the stud to go through. Other than that, no problems.

DonN- You cut the bag to accommodate the front mounting point for the detachable sissy bar? Could you post a pic of this? I very rarely use the sissy bar, so if I can make the bag "fit" better and not remove the quick detach hardware.....

The rain finally stopped and the bike came out of the garage today. Attached are some picks of the bags on my 2010 Super Glide Custom. I have the extra 1" and the quick release.
Today was the first time I rode with the bags and noticed one issue. The air is getting into the left bag separating the inside flap from the cover. I know it sounds weird; it's hard to describe. My solution is going to be adding a few strips of Velcro to the inside flaps to keep them in contact with the cover. Overall very satisfied and pretty easy to install. I have a similar issue with a leather fork bag I have.
@TrickeySleeves, to me the quick release is a must have. I have a fork bag that has standard buckles and it's such a pain to open and close.
