Haven't seen these quick release bags before...I noticed it in a short writeup in a recent motorcycle magazine. Cannot figure out the type of material.  I like the bracket and they say the Klicbag brackets can be combined with Sissy-Bars of H.a.c. Products. Bracket looks like...  http://www.hac-products.nl/Klicbag-1.html

Probably a faux-leather material like the Saddleman bags. Thats what I have with the EZbracket system. EZ brackets just leave two cylindrical mounting lugs on the rear fender support when you remove the bags.

Material looks a lot like the KDrive bags, which is a fake leather they call Iparex 1100.
and the mounting system's a similar concept.
These are available from www.newspeedmaster.com - I have them on my bike and I think they're they're d@mn fine! Lots easier than trying to mate easybrackets up to a bag, get them the same on each side, then find out that the brackets are too tight or too loose on your bike.

I was also thinking they look the same.
I have had willie&Max/Easybracket bags for a while and when they wear out I will look seriously at the kdrives. I didn't want to spend a lot of $$$$ on my first bags without having the opportunity to decide what i "really" needed.
I looked at a Honda the other day that had leather covered hard bags that were rock solid mounted on the bike. My W&M are kinda floppy w/brackets. Assume the KDRIVES would be more sturdy.

For about the same money, I've had my eye on these Leatherlyke hard bags Leatherlyke Hard Bags The locking feature with one key looks useful.

The lids on the bags are kinda floppy, but the bags themselves are well made and hold their shape, and the mounts are rock solid. There's a keylock inside each bag (same key for both) to unlock the bags, then they simply unclip from the mounts.

Don't know about how well those work with the bags on, but I like the look of the Easy Brackets better when the bags are off.
