INSTALLATION
Prepare the Motorcycle
  1. Clean the underside of the tail section.
  2. Follow Owner's Manual instructions to remove the passenger pillion and cover.
Install the Saddlebag Bracket
  1. Using a T-27 TORX® drive head, remove the two screws holding the tail section under shield.
  2. See Figure 1. Fit the saddlebag bracket (3) to the under shield and secure with the screws.
  3. Tighten screws to 36-48 in-lbs (4-5 Nm).
Install the Reflector Relocation Brackets
WARNING
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 requires motorcycles to be equipped with rear and side reflectors. Be sure rear and side reflectors are properly mounted. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00336b)
  1. Use a thin flat blade, like an X-Acto® knife, and carefully pry the reflector off of the turn signal mounting brackets.
  2. Remove the adhesive residue from the brackets and the back of the reflector.
NOTE
When removing adhesive residue, take care to keep from scratching or damaging the reflector, mounting bracket or surrounding parts. New reflectors (part 59256-84A) are available from your Buell dealer.
  1. See Figure 1. Mount the reflector relocation brackets (4) to the stock reflector mounting brackets.
  2. See Figure 1. Loosely attach each relocation bracket through the slots in the stock bracket with two screws, flat washers, and lock nuts.
  3. Slide the relocation bracket to the rearmost position and tighten securely.
  4. Remove the backing from the foam tape on the relocation bracket.
  5. Press the stock reflector squarely onto the foam tape.
Install the Saddlebags
  1. See Figure 1. Slide the mounting pocket (B) on the back side of the left (2) and right (1) saddlebags onto the saddlebag bracket arms.
  2. Over the top of the tail section, pull a strap from the right saddlebag through the plastic buckle eye on the strap from the left saddlebag. Double back the strap to engage the Velcro® hook strip to the loop strip.
  3. Repeat for the second strap.
  4. To prevent damage to the finish, cut and fit lengths of the clear protective tape to those points (A) where the saddlebags and straps contact the tail section.
