I have a 2003 XL1200C Sportster & had saddle bags on it for the past two years & want to put on a set of quick-release Ghost brackets (They now called them Edge brackets).
I want to get away from having the bags on all the time.
I only need the saddlebags on when the wife is along for the ride because of the medical stuff she needs to keep close by. When I ride, I don't need all that storage.
I bought an Easy Bracket rear turn signal relocation kit last year & it broke 'twice'. It broke - they replaced it (after I paid for the freight) and that one broke. Messed up my factory anniversary paint job & they refuse to fix it. So the quick release bracket from them is out, unless some one can tell me why I should go that route.
I am looking for pics, advise & how you rate them.

 

Hi,
I have had very good luck with the Edge / Ghost Brackets.
same idea as the Easy Brackets, just a little different design.

so now I have a question...I've been looking at these recently and cannot seem to find a link to the mounting hardware that will work for me. I have the quick detach backrest and mounting bolts already on the bike and want to keep the backrest when mounting a set of bags. Does Edge have a double keeper design mounting bolt that will allow both the detachable backrest and the detachable brackets to be used at the same time?

 

Iceman,
what is your year and model ?
they do make that application for quite a few .
