Default Quick detachable saddle bags

Anybody using a quick detachable saddle bag system other than the one Harley offers? I have the Harley Softtail Custom saddle bags and would like to make them detachable without relocating the turn signals or footpegs.

I use Ghost Brackets. I've never had a problem with em, but there's also the easy bracket system.

It's just like McDonalds & Burger King. It just depends on which one you like. I'm not a huge Whopper fan but I'd never turn one down!

I added a set of the Leatherpro's detachable bags to my 2008 Deluxe. Outstanding quality and unique styling to match the weave and braid of the seat.

I went with thee-z brackets myself. Quality hardware and simple install.
