EZ Brackets install?
Got my saddlemen bags and EZ brackets in. Havent looked at it yet as i just got home yesterday and im tired as hell. Just wondering if anyone installed em on their own bikes and is it a pain to deal with or pretty straight forward. Thanks in advance.

They are straight forward. Just make sure the bags are where you want them before you drill the holes. Prop them in place some how and stand back to have a look and see if it's what you like. The bags go no and off very nice, you'll like them.

Did you mount the brackets first then figure bag placement for hole boring? Thanks much man.

Semi another little thing you can do is get yourself some GOOD quality duct tape. You can tape the bracket to the bag and do like silver fox says...to stand back and take a look. Some bags are made with a bit of a irregular slant so you need to get that eyeball back to line it up and make it straight.
Just a thought....

HELP!!!! I have a detachable backrest. How the hell does this part work? Near as i can tell, you need to get the HD backrest rubber mount off the HD bolt to make it line up? I have it all apart and am now lost!

Did you order the Easy Brackets to work with your detachable hardware? If not, I think all you need are longer bolts.

Kids are asleep.
Anyway, from memory what I did was pull the Harley detachable stuff off, replace the old bolt with the new one from Easy Brackets, and replace the H-D bag mount with the new one. Bolt it back on the bike, and that's it. Use Blue LocTite.
