I just hate how far out my bags sit, and the gap between the bag and fender, because of the Easy Bracket.


I turned down as short as possible, the EasyB mount spuds on my lathe. I also feel, that is a flaw with the Easy brackets as to how un necessarily far outboard they hang the bags. I'm thinking about moving my reinforcement plates to the outside of the bags and by cutting tight fitting rectangular windows, that should enable, mounting the lock box backing plate inside the bags, thereby bringing them in another 7/16ths " plus the metal I relieved from the spuds. They should look like saddlebags hanging on there, not pylon mounted leather pods.




The whole notion of the eazy brackets is that they are on temp, just for travel etc and that they are usually off the bike, if you like having them on all the time then skip the brackets and go for a close hard mount. I want to do that with the T-bird OEM bags but i also bought the QR sissy bar which means either way my bags are going to stick out.... i might just put little spoilers on them or something!
