Default quick detach saddlebag kit?

I bought a used Fat Bob with saddlebags that were bolted on. It's more trouble than it's worth taking them on and off. Anyone know of a kit that makes them "quick detachable"?

I ride a Softail Standard. I wanted bags for travel, but wanted to keep the clean look for around town. A guy I met at Sturgis was using Ghost Brackets. I bought a set and have been using them for several years now. Easy-on, easy-off and it looks like they have a newer version that might even be easier to use. I removed the mounting brackets from Harley's large saddlebags and replaced them with the Ghost Brackets.
