Easy Brackets
What saddlebags work well with the Easy Bracket system?? Looking for a set of bags for my Fat Bob....I like the option of being able to remove when not needed.
Easy Brackets work best with bags with a smooth, hard back on them. You have to drill holes in the back of the saddlebags to mount the easy bracket hardware, so having a hard back surface is important. You could always use bags that don't have a solid backing and use a piece of aluminum on the inside as a stiffener if you found some bags that were exactly what you wanted, but had a soft backing. But, for an easy install without modification necessary, a solid backed bag with a smooth surface for the bracket to sit flush against would be ideal.
We carry the Easy Brackets on our website at great prices if you haven't bought them yet. And, regardless of whether you buy them from us or not, if you have any installation questions that I can try to answer for you, just let me know. If we don't have the answer, we will call the manufacturer and get you the answer.
Good luck!

On a Dyna you can't mount any type of bags. They still need to have a cutaway for the shocks. I'd say on my FXDC i need a cutaway of at least an inch and a half to clear the shocks.
Or you need a bag that will fit at the rear of the shocks: if you have the turn signal relo kit you need to measure that the bag will fit between the shock and the turn signal if the bags you are considering don't have cutaways for the shocks.

ghira75 is right, you obviously can't just mount any bag you want. You will need to first find the Easy Bracket set that will work for your bike, then measure the space you have to work with between the turn signal and the shock. You can opt for a set of slanted saddlebags to help with this. And you can certainly use a turn signal relocation kit like this one: (CLICK HERE) that will fit your bike, and then you can use a larger selection of saddlebag styles (and larger bags for that matter).
xbox, they would definitely work well with fiberglass bags.
Hope this helps.

I found a set of leather bags for my Deuce at Fox Creek Leathers. They are mounted on EZ Brackets. Ironically, they are the 'Fatboy' bags. You didn't say what type of bags you want so these may, or may not, be the ones for you.
