Kit Contents

See Figure 4 and Table 1.

INSTALLATION

Install a docking point kit per the directions in that kit.

See Figure 1. Stand behind the motorcycle. Place the rack side plate notches (4) into the upper shock absorber mounts (3). Make sure the notches seat fully into the mounts.

See Figure 2. Position the rotary latches (1) over the rear docking points (2). Verify the rotary latches fit into the neck of the rear docking points as shown. This may require some gentle squeezing or spreading of the side plates.

NOTE

* If interference is encountered at the shock absorber mounts: Remove the right side shock absorber. See the service manual. Reinstall the shock absorber in the rod down position. See Figure 3. This will allow the necessary clearance for luggage rack installation. If fitment issues continue, contact a Harley-Davidson dealer for assistance.

* You must hear a CLICK to verify that the rotary latch is completely engaged.

* The docking points must be fully engaged. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for correct engagement. If docking points are not fully engaged they could shift position or come loose during operation.

Push the rear of the side plates downward. Close the rotary latches by pressing the latch lever as far forward as it will go. You hear a "CLICK" when the latch is in place. If the latch does not easily close, do not force. Check the rack alignment again, as described in steps 2 and 3.

NOTE

Luggage Rack capacity:10 lbs (4.5 kg).

To remove the solo rack, press the release button on each side. Push the rotary latch levers back. Carefully lift the rear of the side plates up. Pull the side plate notches out of the upper shock mounts.

Be careful when removing rack. If lifted too far upwards, you could make contact with original equipment (OE) strut cover.
