JMO..I got the K-Drive Bags,you can take them off and carry them in like two suit-cases. When you don't need them the bracket blends in nicely without the bags on.

I have the Easy brackets and they mount the same exact way. I like them alot. You hardly notice the studs when the bags are off and the lock works very well.

I just installed the EDGE 103's with EZ Brackets. Great set-up. 2nd go around with EZ's-a good product all in all.

My Triumph bags with Easy Brackets were stolen. I was looking at the Edge 103 but got the K-Drive bags instead. They're really nice.

If you want to get bags with detachable brackets, get the Easy Brackets. The Edge brackets look like Ghost Brackets, which means they're adjustable, which isn't good. The Easy Brackets aren't adjustable, are made specially for the Rocket, and fit perfectly.

Snuff,
What bags are those? I'm looking into the K-Drive bags but putting EasyBrackets on them, so am interested in how to do that without screwing up the bags.

The K-Drive bags come with mounting hardware on the bags. I think this is removable. The mounting bracket for the fender is pretty inobtrusive and the Easy Brackets would add weight to the bags.

Everyone... please do NOT use the Quote button as a substitute for Post Reply. It is wasteful of bandwidth, and is quite unnecessary when you're replying to a short message that will be sitting right above your own for everyone to see anyway!

Quote is many for when you're replying to a message that is not the last one in the thread, and you want to avoid confusing the reader.

It's also OK to use Quote if the last message is a very long one and you only wish to respond to one particular point--but be sure to carefully edit out all but the point you wish to address! Otherwise, it does nothing to help the potential confusion.

Thanks.

This is where I got them, they are the "Bad Lands" model. You just put the brackets on the bike, hold the bag where you want it, mark the back with a Sharpie pen and then transpose on the other side. If you have stock pipes be sure to do the right side first since it has to be higher due to having two pipes on that side.
