Default easy brackets/ ghost brackets on deuce

Hi,
I have a 02 deuce with the harley davidson factory leather saddlebags that I have not installed yet. Will the easy brackets or ghost brackets work for these bags. What is better. Do I still need to relocate my turn signals with easy brackets/ghost brackets. I thought I saw on the website that the easy brackets were around $155 and the ghost brackets $240. Why the difference. Does anyone have any pictures of this same setup on their deuce.
Thanks
Tom

Don't know about the Ghosts, but I love the Easy B's. They were easy to install and more important the hardware is great and looks sweet, even when the bags are off the bike........plus they were very helpful when I called them.

The Ghost Brackets will not easily bolt on to the HD saddlebags. The HD bags are meant to use the bracket assembly that comes with them. The moulded plastic for the sides is not a flat surface. You will need to perhaps use longer bolts (I did) to even out the distance for the bracket along the side of the bag. Also, I used some hollow shims (actually shock bolt spacer, which worked out great) on one corner to tighten up the bracket. A bit difficult to explain here, but you'll see what I mean when you go to assemble them. All in all, easy to do. I've had mine for a long time now and they work great.
