Figure 7. Saddlebag Knob and Latch
3. With the bag tipped forward and swing the large diameter of the keyhole end of the lower support arm over the lower docking point. Swing the body of the bag down so that the outer docking points on the strut cover slide into the slots of the bracket on the back of the bag.
4. Slide the bag forward on the motorcycle making sure that it is fully seated into all three docking points.
5. With the bag as far forward as possible, rotate the knob 1/4 turn. If the bag is seated properly, the knob should pop back in. Look behind the bag and make sure that the latch is in the closed position.
6. Rotate the support bracket so that the lower docking point is fully seated into the smaller diameter of the lower support bracket. Tighten the bracket mounting bolt:
Torque: 102–115 N·m (75–85 ft-lbs)
7. If adjusting the support bracket in Step 6 causes the bag or lower support arm to be lifted or pushed down, loosen the three screws holding the lower support arm to the saddlebag and adjust the arm forward or back as needed.
8. Tighten the three support arm screws:
Torque: 7–10 N·m (60–90 in-lbs) saddlebag support arms
9. Repeat for the other side.

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. See Figure 8 and Table 1. Position reflector mount (30) in center of saddlebag between straps.
  2. Mark holes on saddlebag with pen (or other appropriate tool).
  3. Using soapy water or isopropyl alcohol, clean the surface of the reflector mount (30) where reflector (29) will be installed.
  4. Allow the surface to dry completely before continuing.
  5. Remove adhesive from back of reflector and install on reflector mount. Apply pressure to reflector for at least one minute.
  6. Using appropriate tool, make two 3/16 inch holes in saddlebag at locations marked in Step 2.
  7. Install reflector mount (30) on saddlebag using two pushnuts (31). The pushnuts are installed from inside the saddlebag.
  8. Let the adhesive cure for at least 24 hours at no less than 16 °C (60" F).
  9. Repeat for the other saddlebag.
