I had the Easy Brackets on my VStar and loved them. The only issue I ever had was the locking tab would sometimes get ever so slightly bent out of shape and make them hard to put on/remove (only when I was in a rush) and I would just stick a screwdriver in there and straighten it out.

My ghost Brackets will be here today I was wondering about how far out from the finder will this put the saddle bags on my Heritage I have seen on some bikes it looks like it puts the bags a good distance from the finder. I sure hope not! I don't want to look like one of those BMW bikes going down the road,

They will stick out, ~1 1/2" more? If you have detachable sissy bar, they stick out more. May bother you at first, then its no big deal because they are not on the bike all the time. For me, sticking out is worth having removable, lockable bags. Bags will last a lot longer if they are on the bike only when needed. Can be removed when cleaning the bike, removing rear tire, carry bags into motel room... detach bags is the only way to go. If your bike looks like a bmw - you have other issues!! jk

I got the brackets today and the 2 studs that go into the finder is to long and to close to the tire. I am going to have to go tomorrow and get shorter ones and how do I get the 2 top bolts to go through the holes on the sliders and the top of the bag the heads on the bolts is to big to go through the cut out where it hooks to the 2 studs the they slide over and lock?
