Default deluxe locking hard bags

Hi all. I'm interested in the Deluxe locking hard bags but I don't want to leave them on the bike for most of the time. Are they quick to get on and off and are there any brackets left behind?
Thanks for any info.

Do some reading on these forums. Some like them but the vast majority, me included, would not buy the HD bags for the Deluxe. They are way too small and had problems leaking. I had them for a year and thought they were basically useless. Very expensive as well. Just my opinion. I bought some Leatherworks 120 bags made for the deluxe and have the bare back quick detach system which I like very well. Let me know if your interrsted in pictures.

Thanks for the info IRready. Sounds like you've just saved me a fortune I'm sure I can find pics on the forum thanks but can you tell me if the leatherworks bags fit with the standard exhaust? If not anyone know which bags would, that use a quick detach system.
Thanks again.
