Can anyone tell me how to install the OEM saddlebag brackets the easiest way, i can never get those bolts to go back in place right away, i have to lift the fender till the holes line up, it pain the a$$$$, it took countless hours and another helping hand to put one side,but still working on left side, i just wanna a trick to be able to take them off anytime i want without worrying about the pain to put them back on. thank you in advance

Put it on a jack, easier to align the bolts.  you can slip a floor jack under the tire while it is up on the stands and move it up and down.  Loosen the shock mounts too. It can be aggravating, I Know. Hoser   Angry

can I ask why you would be taking the bag mounts off and on enough to worry about this? one option would be to remove one bolt loosen the other swing the mount and put the bolt back in the open hole before removing the second bolt.

The (discontinued) Rattlebars kit makes it a breeze. It would be easy to make your
own... http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php?topic=865.0 ... I bet someone's
got some pictures somewhere...

I just put Easybrackets on mine.  Quick on and off with a key.  Takes a few seconds.
Here's a pic of the Easybracket before mounting the bags.
