Default Quick Release Saddlebag Kit?

Concerning a 2014 Street Bob...

I have this sissy bar and docking hardware:
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...detach-upright
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...g-hardware-kit

I have these bags:
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...her-saddlebags

I'm looking for a nice quick release kit where the hardware mounts on the outside of the existing hardware for the sissy bar.

I've seen these ones:
http://www.ghostbrackets.com/content/view/135/35/
http://www.betterbikeparts.com/bbp-s...a-p-20702.html

And these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/EASY-BRACKET...50b7cd&vxp=mtr

Any opinions or thoughts? Will either or both of those do what I want? Any experiences?

Thanks!

I've used Edge Brackets (which are similar to Easy Brackets) on hard bags. The components are manufactured nicely. As a quick release system, I found that the brackets wiggled and rattled too much on the docking hardware. I switched to a set of hard mounted bags and like that set-up much better.

You just cant beat the Leather Pros quick detatch setup. It clamps on like a vice grip, is stackable over HD docking points, and looks clean when the bags are removed...

Leather Pros new detachable saddlebag bracket - YouTube
I agree and that's why I went this route.

Near as I can tell, those won't work with the H-D bags I have and don't seem to be available for purchase separately. Correct me if I am wrong.

I thought you asked about what saddlebags would work, not just the mounting racks.

I must have misunderstood you. The Leather Pros bracketry is part of their saddlebags.

Is there a reason you cant stack the Harley Davidson docking points with longer bolts? I may have a full set of those in my parts bin, I will take a look this evening.

Viking Bags has hardware similar to the easybrackets, I believe the hardware that comes with it includes longer bolts if you buy the one made to work with detachable sissy bar.
