This instruction sheet references service manual information. A service manual for the year and model motorcycle is required for this installation and is available from:
Electrical Overload
NOTICE
It is possible to overload the vehicle's charging system by adding too many electrical accessories. If the combined electrical accessories operating at any one time consume more electrical current than the vehicle's charging system can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge the battery and cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system. (00211d)
WARNING
When installing any electrical accessory, be certain not to exceed the maximum amperage rating of the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit being modified. Exceeding the maximum amperage can lead to electrical failures, which could result in death or serious injury. (00310a)
This kit requires up to 200 Milliampere (mA) more current from the electrical system.
PREPARE
WARNING
To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative (-) cable first) before proceeding. (00307a)
1. Remove main fuse. See service manual.
2. Remove saddlebags. See service manual.
Saddlebag Preparation
NOTE
  • Adhesion of parts depends on surface cleanliness. Proper bond may not occur if adhesive tape is applied to a surface more than once.
  • Adhesive tape requires 24 hours to gain full bonding strength. Apply at 15 °C (59 °F) or higher.
  • Avoid excessive strain on wires when securing.
  • Test fit lamps per installation procedure prior to removing adhesive liner.
