I use easy brackets and love them . just two studs that are stainless steel and that is it when they are off no caps to put on and they work gret I just took thro over bags and sut off the over part bolted them to the brackets and was good to go.
I have the Cyclevision Barebacks on my XBones with the detachable sissybar and the HD XBones bags. I really like them. Very secure, easy off, and much easier to clean the bike now. My son also just put a set on his '09 FXSTC with some bags he had on his Dyna Custom.
Does anyone have any experiences with these and a detachable sissy bar? If so, what brand/style bags did you get?
Thanks!
I have Barebacks set up for a detachable sissy bar. I use the Harley Fat Boy bags, and a t-bag on the bar. No problems, a lot of trips with them. The only negative is the bags hang out farther than I would like. The Barebacks use the stock mounting holes in the fender struts, and have spring loaded mounts that attach to the bags through their mounting holes. You just snap the bags on. Pull them off and add the supplied chrome cap over the mount. Cleanest set up I've seen.
Since I never take my bags off....except to clean, the bagger tail mounts work good for me.
Those look like they would be what you are looking for if you remove your bags often. I checked out Bubbas stuff too.....they look like they would work. It looks to me like if you didn't use the hard bags that you could get by without the little black "noticeable" brace too.?? That is if you are look'n for a neat and clean look.
I also have the Barebacks and am very satisfied with them. I also have the quick detach luggage rack/backrest combo. As stated above, with the bags, they do stick out a little more than I like, but the ease of popping them on and off greatly outweigh that.
