Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

The bags look great. What mounts are those?

Those look like Easy Brackets but a closer look is needed. I wanted to see these bags with those brackets mounted to an America. They look good. Don't appear to be sagging or mounted too far from the fender.

Ghost brackets for our bikes are weakly designed with one mount made to slide for a universal fit. Those are EZ brackets in the pic I think.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!

Looking good Bill. How do the bags attach to the ez brackets? I have the standard S/S "Z" brackets on my Tsukayu hard bags but replaced the supplied hex bolts with stainless button head allen screws to prevent the contents of my bags becoming damaged from the hex bolt sharp edges. I also carry a lot of gear in my bags when I'm away and fitted a stabiliser bar between the bags to prevent them moving around when I hit bumps. Love these bags. web page

Hey Bill, If you find the foot position of your pillion is too high with your bags fitted, you might want to try removing the standard alloy pillion foot peg plate and screw the pillion foot pegs straight into the tapped hole that the muffler brackets hang off. Makes for a much more comfortable ride for the pillion.

it is a four bolt system, with a back plate. unfortunately the thread side of the bolt ends up in the bag; but i put plastic caps on mine. here is an install video
