Just loosen one bolt on the fender strut and the bracket slides in. I have small bags and this is perfect. Easy to remove and put back on for cleaning. Would not work for big saddle bags.

Works great. No hassle to put on or off in minutes.
I think they are a little small for the size of the saddlebags I bought, but they will work. (Saddlebags were Willie & Max braided forward slant 16" L X 11" H).
Nice chrome. Easy on easy off.
Good product. Got the job done. Easy on and off.
