NOTE

1.	Place one washer (2) on each of two screws (1).
2.	Place a second washer on the rear docking-point screw on vehicles equipped with the following saddlebags kits: 91536-00A, 90114-00A, 90119-00A, 91537-00A and 91555-01A. Otherwise, continue to Step 3.
3.	FLSTN Models: Insert 3-1/4 in. screws through the holes in the saddlebags and saddlebag brackets, from the inside of the saddlebags outward. Slide 1/4 in. spacer on each screw. All Other Models: Insert the front and rear screws through the holes in the saddlebags and saddlebag bracket, from the inside of the saddlebag outward.
4.	Place the front docking point (4) all the way onto the front screw (1), with the countersunk end of the docking point facing the fender support.
5.	Place the rear docking point (3) all the way onto the rear screw (1), with the countersunk end of the rear docking point facing the fender support.
6.	Fasten the screws through the fender support and into the threaded nut plates. Tighten the screws to 28–37 N·m (21–27 ft-lbs).
7.	Check that the screws installed in Step 8 do not protrude past the nut plates inside the fender.
8.	Repeat Steps 1-10 on other side of vehicle.

Maintenance

NOTICE

Failure to tighten saddlebag mounting bolts to specified torque could result in damage to saddlebags. (00406c)

After 500 miles of on-road use with the saddlebags installed, check that the saddlebag mounting bolts are tightened to 28–37 N·m (21–27 ft-lbs).

NOTE

1.	Loosen the docking hardware.
2.	Rotate the docking points clockwise approximately 45°.
3.	Tighten the docking hardware to 28–37 N·m (21–27 ft-lbs).
