Quick release sideplates

Hey guys, I am thinking of getting some quick release sideplates, so I can take the sissybar and luggage rack off when my wife is not riding. I know you have to also buy the hardware kit. My question is, does the hardware kit and sideplates work with saddlebag supports? The supports and sideplates share a bolt.

i believe there is different docking hardware for the use of saddlebags. Check the hd parts catalog.

I belive the kit for saddlebags simply comes with longer bolts, which may or may not be long enough for the docking hardware and saddlebag supports. You might need to tweek your bag supports a little to make up the difference when mounted outboard of the docking hardware.
I've been considering the same arrangement, supports w/ docking hardware, but I haven't actually fit them together.
Let us know how it goes and a pic would be sweet.
