Has anyone used Edge Saddlebag Brackets.  I have an early set of FLH hard bags that have followed me from bike to bike.  Looking at putting them on a Valk.  Thanks

Try modified OEM leather bag mounts, rock solid.

The gap between the fender and the bag will be less also. FWIW

Lot's of folks have used them.  However, they're a wide mount and will make your bags offset from the rear fender.....a lot.  Plus, some have reported that their bags are kinda......floppy, sorta, when loaded with lots of stuff.

I might not give the answer that you want me to

I use Easy Brackets and really like them.  Specific to the Valkyrie and easy off and on.  They do stand off the rear but this allows the bag to clear the shock.  I would get them again.  Here is a short video on the difference.
