Easy Brackets or Ghost Brackets
I'm not thrilled about cluttering up the scooter with a bunch of extra add-ons, but i'm getting to where i need bags. My wife is getting tired of filling her bags with my crap! 
So a buddy showed me the Easy bracket and Ghost Bracket solutions and wondered if anyone has these or has any opinions about them. Will it still require the relocation kit for the turn sigs? And are these quick release bags (Easy/Ghost) reliable?
Or if someone has another solution that doesn't add something to the fender rails but is QR.
thanks

i have a 05 wideglide and yes the easy brackets are great and yes you need to relocate your rear lights back to the last hole ghost brackets have alot of problems, they may have taken care of them, my local dealer won`t order or sell them i have had the easy bracket for over a year and they are great

RE: Easy Brackets or Ghost Brackets
I have the easy brackets, Idecided to re locate my rear signals down to the fender, once I did that the Easy Brackets work great.My only complaint is that they rattle when empty but the thunderheader is so loud I usually can't hear them.I have heard this can be fixed by adding washers to one peg set so that they are offset just enough to tighten them up but I never seem to get around to it.

ditto what special ed sez, the rattle is there but once they are loaded no problems, haven't really timed the install or removal but it's in the ten second bracket.

One other thing. Will the brackets work with any set of bags? You just have to punch holes in the bags to mount the brackets? HD seems very proud of their bags as do Boss and some othe retailers. I'd like to not spend a fortune on a set of bags, but want to know they'll hold up when attached to the brackets. Leather or not, i dont' really care.

I have the Easy Brackets on my 03 Lowrider. They look good when the bags are on and very clean when off. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a quick on / off option and keep the bike looking clean.

Did you move the turn sigs below the brake light or above
