Saddle bag question need info.......

Good Day all, I have a question for all you quick release saddlebag owners.
I currently have the Heritage bags on my 06 Heritage and I was wondering if there is a way to take off the bolt on bracket and put on quick release bracket instead. I would like to make the bags easy to remove instead of having to mess with bolt on. Any suggestions and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Memo

I understand that these will fit but how do I get the bracket off the bags?

I just installed the new detach bag system from HD for my 2012 part 88373-10a. Works great, a little drilling & setup, but easy to do. Rip of the windshield all the bags & seats yo running solo.
