Default Best saddlebag brackets

What kind do you have and how was the install? Right now I am not even sure of all the different brands. It would be nice to have quick detach capabilty, but it is not an absolute necessity. Thanks.

Used Easy Brakets on the wifes Deluxe with Leatherworks bags. Install was about 45 minutes, taking my time to get them mounted to the bags just right. If I had help, it would have been much faster. Its difficult to hiold something in position, mark said position, and match up both sides with only two hands...lol.

You know my opinion on it... solid hard mounts that won't break.

You ever buy some bags?? (sorry.. haven't been in here much lately) If not, Max is waiting to put a set of serious bags on your scoot. Reminds me.. I need to send them some final installed pics and post them in here.

But for q-detach.. I did have the Cycle Visions Barebacks, and I liked them with the H-D hardbags I used to have.. If you don't mind that they extend the bags out a little.. which they all do.
