Thanks for your purchase of the Tusk Pannier Racks. 

These racks are made to handle extreme adventure riding, but work 
great for the commuter as well. Please take note of the information and 
instructions below to get the most out of your Tusk racks and panniers. 

Note: For instructional videos, refer to

Assembly: 

Before you throw any packaging away, make sure you received all the necessary hardware:

 

  

 

Rack Installation 

 

*If installing with the TUSK Top Rack, use the 
25.4mm Spacers from the Pannier Rack 
hardware and the 65mm and 60mm Hex 
Flange Bolts from the Top Rack hardware.* 
 
*If the rear fender already has the OEM 
marked mounting holes drilled in it, skip to 
step 4.* 

 

1.

 

Remove rear fender from bike. 

 

2.

 

Drill a ¾” hole through the four manufacturer 
marked hole centers on the underside of 
removed rear fender. (Fig. 2) 
The Tusk ¾” Spade Drill Bit (Rocky Mountain 
ATV/MC part no. 1484250001) works great for 
this. 

 

3.

 

Re-install rear fender on bike. 

 

4.

 

Place one of the 25.4mm spacers in each of the 
drilled holes in the fender. (Fig. 3) 
 

5.

 

Position the pannier rack on the right side of 
the bike aligning the holes in the upper 
mounting plates over the 25.4mm spacers. 
(Fig. 4) 
 

6.

 

Start an 8mm x 55mm hex bolt into the upper 
front mounting plate, through the spacer, and 
loosely thread into the subframe. 
Leave loose until all bolts are installed. (Fig. 4) 
 

7.

 

Start an 8mm x 60mm hex bolt into the upper 
rear mounting plate, through the spacer, and
