INSTALLATION
NOTE
Maximum saddlebag load is 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) for each bag.
WARNING
Do not exceed saddlebag weight capacity. Put equal weight in each bag. Too much weight in saddlebags can cause loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00383a)
NOTE
Saddlebag hangers must be mounted with the bend in the hanger facing out from the motorcycle.
NOTE
The saddlebags are symmetrical and can be mounted on either side.
1. See Figure 1. Remove the fender support cover screws from locations shown for mounting saddlebags.
2. Place lock washers (6) on two cap screws (5) and insert through the top holes of the saddlebag hanger.
NOTE
The FXSTC Does Not use narrow spacers (8) in Step 3 for the saddlebag installation.
3. With the cap screws in place on the hanger, place a wide spacer (7) followed by a narrow spacer (8) on each screw.
4. Thread the cap screws into the location of the original screws previously removed in Step 1 and tighten screws to 30 N·m (22 ft-lbs).
5. From the inside of the saddlebag install two button head screws (2) with washers (3) through the upper mounting holes in the saddlebag and the hanger.
6. On the backside of the hanger install hex nuts (4) to the screws from previous step and tighten to 30 N·m (22 ft-lbs).
7. Insert two button head screws through the lower two holes on the backside of the hanger and into the saddlebag.
8. From the inside of the saddlebag install washers and hex nuts to screws and tighten to 30 N·m (22 ft-lbs).

Installation with Docking Points
  1. If you choose to use the docking points from Kit 53930-03, repeat the installation of previous Steps 1-8 and substitute the front and rear docking points for the spacers (7) in this Kit. You must use narrow spacers (8) from this kit for both the FLSTSB and the FXSTC when using the docking points.

WARNING
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 requires motorcycles to be equipped with rear and side reflectors. Be sure rear and side reflectors are properly mounted. Poor visibility of rider to other motorists can result in death or serious injury. (00336b)
