| Question: |
How do Easy Brackets work? |
| |
| Answer: |
Easy Brackets are shipped with all the hardware necessary to mount them to your motorcycle with only basic tools. The kit comes with (4) stainless steel docking points which are mounted to your motorcycle fender rail. They will replace the existing fender mounting bolts with longer bolts and the docking posts. The bracket is then mounted to the back of the saddlebags with the hardware provided. The bracket then slides onto the docking posts and locks into place. |
| |
| Question: |
Are the Easy Brackets safe and secure? |
| |
| Answer: |
Yes. The brackets are fully welded construction of 11 gauge and 12 gauge steel. The brackets are equipped with a keyed locking mechanism for security when mounted to the motorcycle. |
| Question: |
Do I need stand off guards to keep the saddlebags out of the rear wheel? |
| |
| Answer: |
No. Easy Brackets are designed to eliminate the need for stand off guards, thus providing a very clean appearance when the saddlebags are removed. |

| Question: |
What types of saddlebags will work with Easy Brackets? |
| |
| Answer: |
Most hard, flat back saddlebags will work with Easy Brackets. |
| |
| Question: |
Will my existing saddlebags work with Easy Brackets? |
| |
| Answer: |
In most cases. The back of the saddlebags should be flat and relatively rigid. If the back of the saddlebags are flexible leather, a piece of rigid material similar to thin aluminum or Plexiglas may be attached to the inside or outside of the back of the saddlebags to create a rigid surface to mount the Easy Brackets on. If the saddlebags are the throw over type, the yoke may be cut off and the exposed edge dyed with black dye or black shoe polish. |
