I haven't been on here for some time, but I thought some of you may be interested in knowing that Easy Brackets will soon be available for the Stryker and I have to start by rubbing it in and saying you guys snoozed and you losed (I know it should be "lost", but "lost" doesn't rhyme).

I contacted Easy Brackets about a month or so ago and ended up getting in contact with Bob Zamzow. He let me know they did not have Easy Brackets available for the Stryker because they didn't have one available to develop from. So he and I worked together and after a dozen or so emails going back and forth he had some brackets mocked up and we received the prototypes over the weekend. Surprisingly it all worked out in one shot. The brackets fit my wife's Stryker beautifully.

So I would expect to see these available very soon. I've attached pics for anyone interested in seeing them attached. We still have to put on the bags.

I am sorry but could you inform some of us what they are and what they do?

Sorry. I thought that was a given.

Easy Brackets are brackets that attach to two small posts you install on the side of your fender and allow you to unlock your saddlebags and remove them. Essentially you can have both a bagger and non-bagger in seconds.

You can also install the Ghost Brackets for the Raider on the Stryker as I did. Installation steps are in the link below.

I just wanted to chime in again and let everyone know that the Easy Brackets are now available to the public and are on their site.

I don't know if it was completely clear in my post, but because I was able to get the measurements for the Stryker, the set we ended up with were FREE.

Bob Zamzow, the person I dealt with, would like to offer the same deal to anyone that would do this and has a backrest on their Stryker. The brackets will be different if you have a backrest, so if you're interested in a FREE set of Easy Brackets, you can contact Bob at [email protected].

Hope someone takes advantage of this. It's a great deal.

They are making ones specific to the Stryker now. I have a set en route to go with the new Tsukayu bags I just got the other day.

Thanks for the tip Ares!

I got my set of FREE Easy Brackets yesterday! Just like yours, they fit perfectly on the first try. For anyone looking to add bags to their bike, I highly recommend these brackets. They're easy to mount, and with the turn of a key they come right off.

Here's a few pics:

I had the ultimate test on my way home for lunch! A cop turned out behind me and I thought for sure I was going to get pulled over. He followed me until I turned off on my road, and I checked it right away when I got home. Turns out, standing at 6'4" tall, I only have to be about 20 feet behind the bike and I can read the plate just fine. When I crouched down to about the height of sitting in a car it was about 15 feet.
