Default Easy Brackets question

Tried putting on my easy brackets tonight and they went on easy enough but they rattle like hell. Any tricks to snug them up? I called easy brackets and left a messege earlier today, hopefully they call back tomorrow. If the bracket was 1/32 thicker or the slot in the docking post a little narrower it would be perfect. Also got my mustang seat.....SWEET!

I don't know about the EasyBrackets, but my GhostBrackets have a little play where the key latch tab slides under the post. Look at where the key latch tab locks the bags in place and see if their is play there.
I was able to gently bend the tab up a bit, to minimize the play. Too much and they will not lock however.

I had the same problem. The bags I used have a tie down tab on the bottom. I ran a small bungee from the bottom of the bags to the braces under the fender. It helped keep the bags from rattling around. That's all I could come up with.

You should not have any play in the Easybracket. At least not where you would hear any rattle. Mine were too tight making them a bit of a hassle getting on and off but there was never any noise. Apparently there is a screw where you can adjust the locking latch upwards or downwards depending on where you need it to go but the bracket has to come off the bag to get to it.
