Default Saddle Bags

Will bolt on saddle bags ( whether with ghost brackets or bolted on, it doesn't matter ) fit in conjunction with a Quick Disconnect sissy bar/ solo rack ? I don't want the bags on all of the time and I don't like the way the chrome brackets look that are needed when you put throw over saddle bags on and I don't want the bags on there all of the time so I thought maybe bolt on might work. Anyone know for sure ??????

I have QD side plates on my back rest (2 up). I have a set of Willie and Max Revolution throwover bags that I cut the yokes off and hard mounted to a set of Easy Brackets. Can take them off or put them on in a matter of seconds. Check out the Easy Brackets - I liked them better than the Ghost Brackets.

I have Easy Brackets and CC Saddlebags for my 1200R and use a detachable rack with the solo seat and the H-D detachable backrest for 2-up. Easy Brackets can be ordered with the bolts and spacers to use with detachables and they had better reviews than Ghost Brackets. I'm very happy with them and the saddlebags from CC are top notch.
I also didn't like the throw-over bracket.

You will most likely have to relocate the rear signals though. There is a trick little piece that integrates the license plate mount and signals. It's on here somewhere.
