Luggage Rack Removal (if equipped)
Removing the luggage racks is not recommended. If you do remove the luggage racks (even
if you reinstall them) the disturbance may result in water leaks to the saddlebags and trunk.
We recommend that you replace the saddlebag and trunk doors (lids) with new lids if you
remove the luggage racks.
