Default Heritage's Saddlebags

I'm days before changing my Dyna to a Softail (i'm between the heritage and the deluxe) and i want to ask: Can the Heritage's saddlebags be removed without tools?
I don't have a garage in my house so i don't have the luxury to grab stuff and load them in my place.
If they can't,are there any inner bags which i can load and after put them inside?
I think a good solution are aftermarket saddlebags with easybrackets.
Does anyone know if easy brackets (with fox creek, iron bags or boss bags) can take the load?

Sorry for busting your ***** with a thread that has been analyzed before, but English isn't my language so i couldn't get answers from my checking to previous posts... ...
WHAT'S A "Shim" ?!?!
Much appreciate any opinion

The easy brackets or any quick release would be good in your case but they can also be easily removed with one 1/2" wrench. Doesn't take long at all. Three nuts on each bag.

Default Experienced similar dilemna

Hey man,
I experienced a similar situation. Trading the dyna to softail. I chose the FLSTC. Once the bags are removed you can opt to buy a kit from JP Cycles called the Barebacks. It is a system that will insert into the struts and pass./peg lower bag mount. When installed It allows ease of removal and installation with out the need of any tools.
