Default Closest Fitting Quick Release Saddlebage Brackets

So, I have finally decided my solid mounted Saddle Bags really need to be upgraded to Quick Release Removable style.....I just don't like the apparent look of "really wide" spacing between the Fender Supports and the bags that so many mounts cause.

Anyone have this concern met by finding the closest fitting Quick Release Brackets......WHICH ONES????

I know Quick Release Brackets have been discussed plenty before, I'm just looking for "from experience" which are the closest fitting and don't have obnoxious looking
Posts or Brackets on the Fender Supports.

I have the Easy's and they don't look good. I was thinking of something to fill in the wide space between the bike and the bags. May just sell the brackets. They rattle over bumps.

What I did was leave the yoke part on the throw overs and tuck it behind the brackets to cover it. Check it out. It looks better than not having it.

Question Saddlebags

good idea on the yoke. Does it get into anything, or do you have it tied down somehow.

I have barebacks but they stick out like hell too....pulled them off and I just hardmount them when I need them. It's just 4 bolts. Besides that, I cut the spacers in half to get them tighter to the bike.

Here is your solution, I did it to mine with the same bags...
A few pics but not that good.
