How difficult is it to remove yours? Thinking about getting one for when I don't need the detachable saddle bags, but need it to be removable without too much effort. Thanks!

I love the rigid mounting idea. If WARG comes back maybe he can post a link to the how to? BTW since people are posting in here again, here's mine:

Don't have my Garage Leathers bag hard mounted (it's just on with straps over swing arm) but this last weekend my wife complained about hitting it with the back of her foot all the time, rotating her heel out, and it making her uneasy (only her second time on a bike with me). Suspect I'll have to find a nice looking leather strap to compress the bag when riding two-up.

Here's mine form Bad&G. I like it and Greg seems to be a good guy - several leather, buckle, and size options. My wife didn't seem to have a problem with the foot placement, but she hates the seat. Time for an update and backrest for her.
