READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLATION!

Because of the variety of motorcycle configurations, other accessories, and the features and intended use of this Saddlemen accessory, there are many

different mounting options.  You are responsible for the proper installation of this accessory on your motorcycle. Your attention to these installation

instructions and recommendations will permit safe and proper use of this accessory. You must mount this accessory properly and securely before riding your

motorcycle.  If you lack the ability to safely and properly install this accessory, seek out

 

a qualified motorcycle technician for assistance. During installation,

support the motorcycle with a suitable stand or lift so it will not tip over and injure you, or damage the vehicle.  Using or mounting this accessory improperly

could result in a loss of control of the motorcycle which could result in damage to your motorcycle or other personal property, the property of third parties,

and/or personal injury to yourself or others, up to and including death.
BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY READ AND CLOSELY FOLLOW THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS ACCESSORY:

• The bag must be installed and securely fastened onto the seat or the rack of the motorcycle.

• Install the bag securely so it will not shift or move while riding. Make sure the mounting straps or the bag will not contact the wheels, suspension or any

other moving parts of the motorcycle.

• If you do not understand the mounting instructions DO NOT mount the bag. Remove the mounting straps or any components you may have already

installed on your motorcycle.

• Thoroughly inspect your motorcycle luggage before every ride.  Do not use this bag if the mounting system has been modified, has deteriorated, loosened

or is beginning to fail.

• Before riding, secure your cargo inside the bag and completely close any lid or flap.

• Continually check the security of the bag at each stop as you ride. Straps can loosen during operation, so be sure to check them frequently.

• Do not use this accessory if you have any doubts as to whether it is properly mounted to your motorcycle.

• Do not exceed 15 pounds of total weight of the bag and its contents.

• Do not transport or store flammable or potentially explosive materials in your bag.

• When using this accessory, do not exceed your vehicle's Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight as listed on your motorcycle or in its owner's manual.

• If your bag is ever damaged, do not use it until it has been inspected by your local professional motorcycle dealer. Replace the bag immediately if it has

sustained damage that will prevent it from being properly secured to your motorcycle or being able to securely hold its contents.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS ACCESSORY IF:

• You do not understand these installation and use instructions,

• You do not understand any part of the accessory mounting system,

• You have any doubts as to the security of the mounting system.
