INSTALLATION

Passenger Upright Installation

See Figure 1. Stand behind the motorcycle, and place (10) the front upright notches (2) into the front docking points (3).

See Figure 2. Check for correct notch engagement.

NOTE

Failure to engage the sideplate notches to the docking points can damage to the rear docking points.

See Figure 1. Pull (11) the rotary latches (4) back into their rearmost position. Align the latches over the rear docking points (7). Verify the latches and rear notches (6) fit into the neck (8) of the rear docking points.

NOTE

This may require some gentle squeezing or spreading of the upright sideplates.

Push downward (12) on the sideplates, and close the rotary latches by pressing (13) the latch lever as far forward as it goes. A click is heard when the latch is in place. If the latch does not close, do not force it.
