You should go with the regular, non-sissybar Easy Brackets. The problem comes with proper alignment of the grooves in the mounting posts when the factory sissybar brackets are installed.

I think I understand what the difference is now. Thanks for the advice and I will order those easy brackets right up.

  Notice the 'L' rear Mudguard Support brackets on Cinnamon Girl (which fit over each Mudguard Support and allow attachment of both the sissy bar and the luggage rack) vs Vera Lynn with neked Mudguard Supports (No sissy bar or luggage rack). When ordering the EZ Brackets, that "L" rear Mudguard Support bracket changes the geometry of the rear mudguard support, thus the need to specify with or without the sissy bar. Actually the pertinent question should be, "with or with the oem 'L' brackets mounted on the rear mudguard supports. Why? Because one can have a luggage rack without the sissy bar. Well then what to order? I don't have the sissy bar after all just the luggage rack. AHA! Answer: Sissy bar support you do have albeit sans the sissy bar. Now where are my meds?

 Moe...you crack me up and your explanation is crystal clear. I ended up ordering the no sissy bracket cause my sissy bar mounts up between the fender and the fender brackets. Ya, I know thats wierd...it's an aftermarket or maybe even a custom built sissy that came with my bike...I bought my bike from a former ba.com member. Anywho, I'm sure I made the right decision now.

cci,
The badlands are really great bags. I've had them on my bike for a short time but I'm really happy with them. They seem sturdy enough that they will keep their shape and inside, it is a hard type surface. It's hard to explain. They are good bags and have no negative points IMO other than you can't put a whole lot in them.
