Anyone out there have willie and max raptor bags with the easy bracket system? Do you they fit without relocating the turn signals? From the pictures I've seen on the net I can't figure out how the bags stay closed no buckles, straps or anything, somebody help! Please!


It's like chasing a race horse on steroids!!!

That's what I have. It is heavy duty velcro that keeps them closed. I would not really recommend them if you are going to do much touring. If I could do it over I would get the Saddleman Jumbo drifters or the Tourmaster Cruiser II slant bags. When I went to Ga. last year, I over loaded tha bags and was worrying about them coming open the whole way. They were fine and relatively water tight but I guess you should just not oeverfill them. If you have the straps you don't have to worry about it. I love the Easy Brackets though.

Another thing about straps on bags. You can REALLY over fill them, by taking the strap out to the last part of the loop. A velcro snap is really going to limit how full they are, but the ease fo access would be worth it if you're not concerned with lots of gear.
