Yes, someone please answer this for the both of us. I have a set of hardbags as well, but just have not gotten around to them yet since I will have to deal with paint. I know there are a couple kits out there, not sure which is the best. Love to know myself.

If you want everything to be detachable the Bubba's Hardware is hard to beat for a clean install.

I used these on an FXST Standard and they worked great. The price is also right.

Bubbas quick detach and EZ Brackets are both good systems for smaller bags.
If the Hard Bags you have are off a FLH you need a lot more support than those systems will give you. IMO the only way to go is the Cyclevisions set up, can be found at Cyclevisions or J & P and I think Drag Specialiets sell them. It has a bottom support system that ties both bags together, without this you will have a lot of wiggle and the bags will crack at the mounts.

Cycle Visions is the way to go I have these on my Fatboy and have 47,000 miles on them without any trouble, You'll have to relocate your turn signals, I used the little spoilers that Harley makes for the bags as turm signals. The price has gone down from when I got mine also. my friend has a set of hard bags on her deluxe and they bolt right up, stock turn signals work fine on that model.
