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)
WARNINGWhen 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 Air Wing Saddlebag Lid Rail Lights kit requires up to 50 mA additional current from the electrical system.
INSTALLATION
| 1. | If saddlebag rails have not yet been installed: Perform the Air Wing Saddlebag Rail installation up to the point of final assembly of the rails to the saddlebag lids. If saddlebag rails are already installed: Open one saddlebag and remove all loose contents. See the service manual. Remove the saddlebag. From the underside of the saddlebag lid, remove the fasteners retaining the saddlebag rail to the lid. Note fastener position and save all components for installation. | |||||||||

| 6. | If equipped, remove the saddlebag liner. See Figure 1. Measure approximately 70 mm (2.75 in) on center forward from the rear saddlebag mounting pin location, and affix a strip of masking tape to the inside wall of the saddlebag at that location. Mark the location on the tape with a center punch, then: a. drill a 2 mm (1/16 in) diameter pilot hole through the saddlebag wall. b. Enlarge the hole using a 10 mm (⅜ in) drill bit. | |||||||||
| 7. | Remove the tape. Lightly sand to remove burrs and sharp edges. Clean the inside and outside saddlebag surfaces of tape and drilling residue with a mixture of 50-70% isopropyl alcohol and 30-50% distilled water. Allow to dry thoroughly. | |||||||||
