Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Need schooling on E-Z brackets

I've never had a bike with bags, and the throw overs that came with the bike aren't very good.

If I understand the system correctly, you buy which ever bags you want, and buy the brackets separately and affix the bags to the brackets. The brackets are "mounting post specific" depending on the centers of your fender bolts, and hook on the mounting posts attached to your bike. If I have that right, all I need to do is buy all the stuff and bolt it on.

Now for the real question......... I'm cheap........ and need to know what other bikes, if any, cross over to our bikes so I can shop for used on ebay? I don't mind doing some modifications to make it work out if it saves me a decent amount. Are all leather bags that aren't throw overs OK to use with brackets? Thanks for the help. Bob
