I have just installed a set of Ghost brackets for my new saddle bags. They appear to be the same setup as EZ brackets. For those of you have 'detachable' bags do they have 'play' or movement where they attach to the bike?
Seems like they would rattle because of the play in them. I have them locked but still have movement.
Anybody experience this?
Thanks

The Ghost Brackets are not made as well for our bikes as the EZ Brackets are made specificly to fit our bikes where as the Ghost they sell to fit ours are a "universal" type made to fit several different bikes. I opted for EZ for this reason. I can tell you there is very little play in the EZ Brackets.

I have the Easy Brackets. They are a precision fit with very minimal play in them. Well worth the money.

That can be cured by the addition of some thin washers between the post and the fender stay; I did that to get mine snug and lined up properly.
