I realise there are 2 previous threads on this subject however I thought it might be of some use to see the Ghost Brackets or what is now marketed as the Edge Brackets and are available on Ebay the fit up is an alternative to the Easy Brackets. (Sorry Fast Ed ) didnt know you sold the Easy Brackets.
The end result is practically the same except I believe the Ghost/Edge Brackets give you a bit more ability to adjust the position of the bags on the bike as there are 2 top mounts that can individually slide forwards and backwards on the main bag mount.
This picture depicts the view from the rear and the bags are nowhere near the Shorties.

This picture depicts the Ghost or Edge brackets and also shows the 2 x Individual Sliding mounts that allow more adjustment than the easy brackets.
This pictrue depicts 2 x Cad Plated spacers used to space the bag out from the bracket so that the bag hangs more vertically on the brackets.
