See Figure 1. While standing behind the motorcycle, place the front rack notches (1) into the front docking points (2). (Most of the rack, except a typical sideplate, has been removed for illustration purposes).

Pull the rotary latches (4) back into their rearmost position. Position the rear rotary latches (4) over the rear docking points (5), making certain the latches and sideplates fit into the neck of the rear docking points. This may require some gentle squeezing or spreading of the sideplates.

Push downward and close the rotary latches by pressing the latch lever as far forward. You will hear a click when the latch is in place. If the latch does not easily close, do not force. Recheck alignment.

To remove the rack, press the release button (6) shown in the diagram, and pull the rotary latch lever back. Carefully lift the rear of the rack up and pull the rack out of the front docking points.
