Bagger adjustment
For proper bag function and appearance, it may be neces-
sary to adjust the bagger assembly. There should be 6mm (1/
4")-9mm (3/8") gap between the bagger top and fender and
the bagger top surface should be even with the top surface
of the fender. To adjust bagger position:
Horizontal adjustment
•
Slightly loosen the nuts securing the bagger RH and LH
horizontal adjustment brackets. Loosen only enough so
the brackets keep their position, but allow them to be
moved.
•
Move the brackets the amount forward or backward you
wish the bag assembly to move. Retighten the nuts
securely.
Vertical adjustment
•
Slightly loosen the nuts securing the vertical adjustment
brackets. Loosen only enough so the brackets keep their
position, but allow them to be moved.
•
Move the brackets the amount up or down you wish the
bag assembly to move. Retighten the nuts securely.
•
Reinstall the bagger assembly and check the bagger to
fender fit. If necessary, repeat the procedure until proper
fit is attained.
