Does anyone have any experience with Cyclevision barebacks for removable saddlebags on a Heritage? Are they easy to install? Do they hold the bags securely.

The reason I ask is because it is a PITA to remove the bags with standard hardware. Half the time the isolater tears. I want to be able to remove the bags to clean easily plus if I am just riding locally I may want to remove them and the windshield for a totally different look.

Any comments (positive or negative) would be appreciated before I throw down $150 for something that I might not like.

 

I like mine. A bit fussy getting them on and off, but no tools required.

 

They work but I didn't like how they add an extra inch to width on both sides.

 

I was just at the shop talking to one of our guys about what a pain it is to get the saddlebags off when they are bolted on as he was unbolting them. The barebacks do put the bags out a little bit to the sides but are very easy to use and install.

I have them installed on my 2010 Heritage. I like them. Pretty easy on and off and hold the bags in place securely. I usually ride without bags so I do not mess with them that often. They do add about an inch or so but nothing I can not live with.

Con- No locking system like Easy Brackets.

I love mine. HINT: just try to get all the correct parts at once if you want a detachable sissy bar...

Dont know if this helps you out at all, but I have a set on my 08 crossbones and they work great.

 

I use them, like the bagless look. But when a trip calls, I got storage.
