RE: Which Quick Release Saddle Bag System?
And of course the HD site doesn't give the size of bags other than cubic inches. Why does everything have to be so hard? The HD site says the bags I ordered do not require relocating of T/S. But now I assume that means if they are hard mounted? If I call Easy Brackets perhaps they can tell me if I need to relocate T/S or not?

The 90388-04 "quick disconnect bags" that I have aren't as large as some I've seen, but they look good on the bike, and hold quite a bit more than I thought.... Enough room in them that I can roll up and fit a mid-weight leather jacket and vest in one bag.

Great, another choice. Thanks, I'll call them tomorrow. I should have my bags by the end of this coming week. Again, I'd really like to NOT have to change my turn signals. Perhaps the barebacks will work?!

I tried a set of the Easy Brackets and they made my bags stick out like a sore thumb...sent em back. By design the EB's add an offset of like 5 or 6 inches - I don't understand why they make them like that [:'(] ..I think the bubbas are a lot cleaner looking.

Here is my reason for not getting bubba's.
The whole idea of having a quick-release system on a road trip is
that you can take the bags off, and into the motel room with you
like two suitcases. bubba's has that support bracket sticking out
that I think, is connected to the bags?

RE: Which Quick Release Saddle Bag System?
I went through the same thing after I ordered from Bubba's a few months ago. After about a week of calling I finally got through. When the Mounts arrived I had an issue with one of the Spools since I orderd the Detachable version. I called and got through right away and had a replacement Spool in two days.
They were going through some type of reorg but I thought they would be back to normal by now.
They are a small home based operation I think but are good to work with once you make contact.
I think he lowered his prices as well.
