I have a Heritage and am new to baggers so I have what may be a dumb question. Is there a kit that allows realtively quick removal of the bags and the sissy bar/rear seat?

I use EasyBrackets and think they're great. You can lock em on and when removed the h/w is hardly noticable, blends right in with the chrome and dont stick out much either. You have to mount the other h/w onto the back of your bags, that's about all.

Thanks, but what are Easy Brackets and where do you get them?

Here's a pic of a 2005 Heritage with both the ez brackets and the HD quick release for the backrest and luggage rack.
The red circle is around the lock cover for the bag lock. The blue is around the black latch that you flip rearward, one on each side, to release the whole sissy bar upright assembly.
When I bought my ez brackets, I was asked if I had the quick release backrest. It needed a different part number.
Your stealer has the backrest release. Seems like it was around $150 but that's a guess because I bought it together with the rack.
