Default Recommendations for Quick Release
I am looking for a quick release setup that will work with both saddlebags and sissybar. If possible, I'd like the bags to be close to the struts. Any ideas?

Yep. Easy Brackets. They have hardware to mount the brackets with the removable sissy bars.

Take a good look at www.bubbasbrakes.com the quaility is excellent and the bracket system is almost invisable when the bags or sissy bar are removed. The bag mounting system is much more stable than the ez brackets.

Bubbas all the way. Much better quality and worth every penny.

I have a set of Ghost Brackets. Great product, BRUTAL customer service. Based on the BS I am STILL going through with them over double billing of my credit card, I would never deal with them again.

Cheers!

Attaching a pic of my bike with the bubbas system on. You can hardly tell the brackets are even there with the bags and sissy bar off.

If you're seriously considering the bubbas system, I can take a closer picture of the struts and the brackets if you want to see them better.
