Looking to get a quick release mechanism for my '00 Heritage bags. Saw the EZ Brackets on ebay for $160. Anyone have them? Or does HD make them? Part number? Are they any good? Just looking for opinions and bags off pics of the systems available. Thanks!

 

I went with the Cycle Visions BareBacks.

I found it hard to find the right easy bracket

 

I've had them for 5-6 years now and am happy with them. Never had a problem with. Can remove them in the time it takes to turn the lock key.

 

The last set of easy brackets I saw had the saddlebags sticking out like pontoon out riggers, Horrible design.

 

Detachable saddle bag brackets great in theory but when the bags are rubbing against the swing arm due to lack of support, cost out weigh the convenience.

 

I use them on my Deluxe and although they do set out a little farther than some , they really look ok to me and they easy to install and built to last.

 

I have had them on an 05 Super Glide and 06 Wide Glide. They work but have been a pain to get on and off.

 

I've got them with the extra bushing for a detachable sissy bar. They work fine, and the bags don't rub unless I seriously overload them. I've been toying with the idea of removing them, as I can't remember the last time I mounted the bags.

 

I bought a pair this past summer. They work well & my bags don't rub on the swingarm. I forget where online I got them, but they were about $150 new

 

I had them on a previous bike and they worked great. I put a piece of aluminum plate on the inside of each saddle bag (cut to fit the entire inside of the bag) and connected the mounting hardware to it.


The plates kept the bags off the frame and were out of sight.


The lock mechanism worked good.
