Easy Brackets are an innovative two (2) point docking system that allows the quick and easy installation and removal of saddlebags. Easy Brackets use two (2) existing bolts holes in the fender rail of the motorcycle. By replacing the existing bolts with the docking posts and longer bolts provided in each kit, the Easy Brackets can then be instantly installed and locked into place.
Because each Easy Bracket is for your motorcycle, you will receive all of the correct hardware with your order. The docking posts and bolts are especially designed to work perfectly with your motorcycle, eliminating the hassles of adding spacing washers to either line up the docking posts or to achieve a good, tight fit.

Note: If you have a Hondaline backrest you will need EZ-VTX-R2BR instead.
Important: SEE FITMENT DETAILS!

CruiserCustomizing Staff: Kyle Bradshaw (ManyBikes) from Livermore, CA for a 2003 1300 VTX1300R (S) Retro:

I recommend Easy Brackets for an EASY install (and removal) of any saddle bag on the market. I originally purchased the easy brackets to install with my Leatercraft bags. I recently have given the leather craft bags to a buddy and have mounted an new saddle bag EZ-SLANT-LG to the Easy Brackets.
In the past I have messed with "homemade" saddlebag mounts... I then graduated to saddlebag supports... and now am SOLD on EASY BRACKETS. Looking back, I could have saved a LOT of time and money if I would have gone with the Easy Brackets in the first place.
Easy Brackets are super durable model specific steel brackets which have been coated with black powder coating. They mount to the bike using just two little studs on each side of the rear fender rail. The brackets themselves mount to the saddlebag with 4 heavy duty bolts, nuts, and washers. Installation is not only EASY, but this system allows you to mount the bags at any height or position you choose. (I love that feature!)
Once mounted to the saddlebag, the brackets attach and remove from the bike in seconds! I ride most of the time with the bike stripped down... but on long rides, these brackets coupled with bags are a lifesaver.

Easy install. Getting them to fit on the bags by marking holes and drilling them was a bit of a pain, but overall very easy to install and use. I love that I can take off my bags in seconds.

Okay... I just mounted the new Mustang Hard Saddlebags using these brackets and I am SUPER happy! I attempted to use the Edge Brackets, but was not happy with the results. I decided to halt the install... and swap the Edge for Easy Brackets. Check out the Install of the brackets here: http://community.cruisercustomizing.com/_Motorcycle-Bike-into-Bagger-TOTW-Saddlebag-38-Fairing/video/952083/22960.html These brackets were super simple to install and they work exceptionally well!

This item gets mixed reviews from me. These brackets are heavy duty and mounting them on the bike is a breeze. It's a bit more trouble to mount the saddlebags to the brackets, but still nothing really to it (and I have no mechanical skills). On the other hand, these things cost $150 (on sale) and there's not $20 worth of metal in them. Plus, there's not quite enough metal. The bracets don't extend low enough to provide a good base for the bags to mount to so they flop around too much. How much more would it have cost the company to add another three or four inches of sheet metal? I'll have to rig something myself this winter. The bolts for mounting the bags to the brackets are included, but are too long. Shorter bolts would have allowed me to put the rounded head of the bolt on the inside and the nuts/washers on the outside thus infringing less on the space inside the saddlebags. I like the brackets b/c they enable removal of the bags, but, honestly, I could have designed a b...

Just added saddle bags to my bike and was looking at a lot of brackets and bags, finally went with Leatherneck Jims made in the USA heavy duty Leather and what a great choice and these brackets and bags are the best out there. When you want to wash your bike or take it in for service these brackets are attached right to the bag and with a turn of a key the bags and bracket are off leaving the bolts. Only thing is when you install make sure you have two people and first use a strong tape(I used duct tape) to hole the bracket onto the bag before you drill to make sure both sides are level and looking at both bags on the bike again before drilling and make the final attachment of the bracket to the bag. When you attach the bags the washers are way to same so I went to the hardware store and picked up bigger washers which will hold more weight to the bracket making it more secure. The washer cost me a big total of .75 cents. The bags I got were the Desperado with the stud around the fron...

IMPORTANT, if you get these, make sure you get saddle bags that have the inner hard plastic mounting back to mount too, or your wasting your money on saddlebags, the weight will rip your bags apart. This was a little hard to get mounted to the bike, as the rear back rest and rack had been pictured bolting up different than it turned out. I had to take the two rear back bracket hanger bolts and have them cut down; used all the piece's and added a washer for spacing, for all to bolt correctly, then had to get two longer bolts. The bracket hangers must be aliened correctly, or the bracket is very hard to get on and off. Mine works. If purchased with all the correct stuff for the correct bike, it shouldn't be to much of a problem; you will no matter what, have to drill holes in the saddlebags, as this is how you mount the bracket to the bags. I just ordered replacement bags as I had used regular saddle bags with the soft inner backs.
