? about brackets
Hi guys and gals. newbee here with a question. I just recently purchased a 2003 anniversary low rider. The previous owner took the saddlebags and left the brackets. I am unable to loosen the bolts to remove them. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

what do you mean unable to loosen them ,are they not tbreaking loose, are they spinning in the holes, heads rounded off and the bit or wrench not grabbing? they may have locktite on them if they just wont break loose
