Distressed Bag Mounting Advice Needed
Been thinking of getting H-Ds distressed bags for my Fat Bob.
My question is there a way to set those bags up to a quick disconnect bracket or is it pretty easy to take off the attaching hardware when I want the bags off for cleaning the bike.
Would I be better off using a set off E-Z Brackets with locking hardware or just mounting the bags and leaving them on the bike all the time.
I really like how the Fat Bob looks with out bags and I don't want them on the bike for cruising around town.

Thanks Mibeaulieu thats a nice write-up and set-up. That looks like the way I need to go. I only wished that I could lock the bags on the bike.
I hear that the lockable Ghost Brackets rattle and stick the bags out farther away from the bike, so it might be the cycle visions kit for me.
Does anyone make a quick release system to lock bags to the bike with H-Ds distressed bags?
Thanks for the write up.
I can't find anything in H-Ds Parts book that allows you to use them as a quick release kit. If someone has a page number for the 2012 book that would help.
