America LT - quick disconnect saddle bags?

I've got an America LT that came with some saddle bags that I like. However, I'd like to be able to easily remove them to streamline the look of the bike when I don't need the bags.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to set up some kind of quick disconnect with these bags? Right now, on each side, I have to remove 4 bolts and then 2 more bolts and then a black bracket and then a couple more bolts and then a chrome bracket (connected to the sissy bar) and it's a huge hassle.

Here's what it looks like after removing the black bracket but before removing the bolts it connects to. On the seat, you can see some of the numerous bolts I had to remove on that side alone.


Needless to say, that doesn't look very good. Anyone know of a way to make this less of a hassle and still look good without the bags? Thanks!
