These pics may help.

NOTE: I also used the Bare Backs to make the bags quick detach.

Install was easy (as long as you have all the right parts) Ha Ha

Yeah, do one side at a time. By that I mean removal and installing the new ones. That way you will always have the other side to check if you forget the order of how something re-installs. Snapping in the sissy bar is easy, just follow the directions.

Appears that the saddlebags will have a much larger "gap" between then and the fender once the docking set is installed?! I'm thinking of installing the QD stuff also but unsure of the saddlebag interference issues with using the QD stuff
