SADDLEBAGS and SISSY BAR

4196 Views 6 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  bizzythekid
I have a HONDALINE sissy bar and luggage rack on my 2004 VTX 1800C. I would like a quick release backrest/luggage rack and a quick release saddlebags, my question is: Is that even possible? I'm having trouble finding a combination of both.

I was looking at the Easy Bracket system for saddlebags but didn't see if that supports any particular quick detach backrest?

Anyone have a combination that they like use and where they can be found?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey, Biz. How'd the hiway bars work out?
Jardin makes a quick release back rest/luggage bar. However, I'm not sure how that would work with saddlebags since most of the mounting bracket detaches.

Paladin (National Cycle) makes a quick release back rest (not luggage rack) that should be compatible with most saddlebags mounts. I believe National Cycle also makes quick release saddle bags.

I have US Saddlebags and they're quick release. Quick release on soft bags isn't an exotic feature so check around.
Hi,
I use PALADIN and Easy brackets for my 1800F. It works great. The both are bike specific.
You could use one without the other for rides.

Hey PaXman,

Worked out great - had to buy the longer bolt but no biggie, worked out great. Love em! Thanks again! Anxious for riding season!!! We just got hammered with snow yesterday, though. :banghead:
