Default my sporty is a bagger now!!

had these bags that i bought for the wife... she didnt want them, and they fit just right on my bike.
and easy install as well as really easy on and off- thanks to easy brackets

(posting links cause i cant get the photos to load on this site- click on the link and then click on the photo for it to open all the way):

first- bag before locking on (takes 10 seconds):

the mounting hardware is from easy brackets- and they really are easy!

some good info in this thread too:

Got to looking at those easy brackets a little closer and they say you must purchase a tail light relocation kit??

yeah- i had already relocated mine...
they use the same bolts that hold the rail, and those are on either side of the tail lights. so they do have to be relocated (see the rear of my bike) for easy brackets (also for most other bags)

Check out the Edge (Ghost) Brackets. They are easier to adjust, mounts the bag is such a way as to not rattle around, and are stronger.
