Default detachable tour pack

I have a 2004 Electra glide classic with a tour pack that I want to make detachable. I am not a huge fan of the rear docking hardware from Harley. I did however find some parts on amazon and eBay which utilize the sissy bar mounts (which I will need to add). Anyhow, I am just wondering if anybody has used these detach kits and their thoughts. My concern is that it inst going to be solid from side to side. Or I should say potentially wobbly. Let me know your thoughts, especially if you have used this type of kit. If the kit inst strong, I will use the Harley mounts. I am just not a fan of the hardware hanging off the back.

Not that exact rack, but I have a detachable rack off ebay. Mine has a small amount of play where the mount goes over the front docking point on the bike( it is the black plastic piece that slides/fits on the metal bracket itself). Works just fine, it won't come off seeing as the mount is "locked"on the back points. For the few times a year I will use the box, I'm fine with it...

That's good. I was more concerned with them being a thin gauge of metal that will wobble. I appreciate your feedback hammerhead.
