Default Anyone used Easy Brackets?

Hey guys,
My FB came with rigid mounted Harley fatboybags. I want to convert these bags to detachable. A long time Harley rider/buddy suggested bolting easy brackets to my rigid bags. Are Easy Brackets tough?, my bags are kinda heavy as they have steel supports rivited to the back of the bags. Thanks!

I first used Easybrackets on the OL's Lowrider. As soon as I saw how well they worked, I ordered a set for my bike. Wouldn't use anything else.

I have a set for my deuce, great product. Deuce uses a different mounting bracket on the bike and I don't think that it is as sturdy as the rest of the softails. Check out the website I think they list the information your looking for.

I tried and returned a set of easy brackets for my Heritage. No problem with the quality, they just pushed the bags out further than I liked.

I just installed a set of these on my 01 Fatboy. I got them off of e-bay for139.00 with free shipping. I have a detachable backrest so it mounts on the 2 front strut bolt holes. The hardware is good quality so it looks good without the bags on it. My factory fatboy bags sit a little further forward and a little more off the bikethan it did before butIMO it looks fine. It's a very nice setup. I would post pics but I am waiting for it to get the 6-speed installed at the shop(I was NOT doing that myself).

I put them on the Wifes Deluxe. Look great, and work awesome. You won't be disapointed in them.
