adapting Fat Boy saddlebags to Sporty

I scored a pair of HD Fat Boy saddlebags on craigslist that are a great size for me an' me Sporty.

I would like to keep the width profile as narrow as possible and would like to have them on a quick release. I realize I have to relocate the turn signals but who's got an opinion on which quick release system is best? The HD system is trick. Ghost brackets? EZ? others?

and is there a better relocation kit then the HD?

btw- I have a relocation kit and solid mount brackets for an '03 Fat Boy/ softail if interested.

TIA

Yes, he did. The Sportster is a fine motorcycle.

Sporty-Sporty-Sporty




fast, agile and sporty.....that pretty well describes MY H-D bike. I got no problems calling her a Sporty.

just finished a fun 300 mile/ 2-day cruise south down the Oregon coast on her.....without saddlebags....
