INSTALLATION
1. See Figure 1. Install the lower support bracket (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5), lockwashers (6), washers (7) and screws (8). Do not fully tighten.
2. Tip the saddlebag forward and align the large diameter of the keyhole end of the lower support arm with the third point docking point. Rotate the saddlebag down so that the docking points on the strut cover slide into the slots of the bracket on the back of the saddlebag.
3. Slide the saddlebag forward on the vehicle verifying that it is fully seated onto all three docking points.
4. Move the bag as far forward as possible and rotate the latch knob one-quarter turn. If the bag is seated properly, the knob should pop back in. Check behind the bag and verify that the latch is in the closed position.
NOTE
If the saddlebag is not seated, loosen the screws securing the lower support bracket to the saddlebag frame and slide the support rod forward or backward in its mounting slots. Tighten locknuts to 7–10 N·m (60–90 in-lbs) after seating the saddlebag.
5. Adjust the lower support bracket so it has maximum engagement in the docking point. Tighten screws to 7–10 N·m (60–90 in-lbs).
6. Repeat procedure for the opposite saddlebag.
Return to Service
1. Connect the negative (-) battery cable or install the main fuse, following the instructions in the owner's manual.
