QUICK RELEASE FEATURE
The backside of each saddlebag has four mounting holes, and each side of the mounting yoke has three twist locks.
Align the twist locks in a vertical position, and insert them into the back of the saddlebag. Then, turn the twist locks into the horizontal locked position
before riding (Fig. E). The mounting strap located on the bottom of each bag has two quick-release buckles; one of them allows you to leave the strap
on the bike and still take the bag with you. Make sure both are secured before riding.
NOTE: Saddlebags must not move around; if they do, you must tie
them securely to your saddlebag supports using a Tie Down Kit
#5108(recommended), or cable ties, connected to the two attachment
points at the bottom corners of each saddlebag.
NOTE: DO NOT connect any straps to flexible or moving parts (rubber
mounted turn signals, swing arm, shocks)
NOTE: You must tuck away, tie, or cut/shorten all loose mounting
straps BEFORE you ride the motorcycle. See warning information
above.
NOTE: Check saddlebag mounting and strap tightness each time you
stop.
CARE AND CLEANING
Your Saddlemen saddlebags require almost no maintenance, but to keep them
looking their best, we recommend Saddlemen’s Saddlebag Cleaner #3101, and
Saddlebag Conditioner #3103. For everyday cleaning, you can simply wipe down
the bag with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure to keep the saddlebags away from
extreme heat sources like your bike's exhaust pipes.
