Motorcycling is an inherently dangerous activity. Installation of any accessory, including 
saddlebags, can add to the danger if they are not installed safely.  You must install them in a 
manner in which they will not contact any part of the drive train, suspension or steering, or interfere 
with any operation of the motorcycle. If you do not know how to do this, or have any doubts as to 
your ability, please have a qualified motorcycle mechanic install them.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  

 

WARNING: To avoid injury, install while engine is cold. Disconnect the battery.                                            

 

We recommend relocating one side at a time, completing one side before starting on the other side. This will 

help maintain fender alignment, and give you a reference for wire routing Etc. 
1). Remove tail light lens. 
2) Trace wires from turn signal lights and unplug form tail light terminal. 
3) Push wires back through the fender holes, and free them from clips, etc, to the turn signal lights. Be careful to 
note the routing of the wires so you can re-rout them in the same way when you reassemble the light. 
4) Remove the bolt holding the turn signal light and carefully remove the wire thru the hole. 
5) Cut the wires 1½ inch from where they exit from the turn signal support. 
6) Strip 3/8inch insulation from the ends of the turn signal wires, and both ends of all the extension wires 
supplied. 
7) Using a crimping tool, and the butt connectors, add an extension wire to the end of each turn signal wire 
only, black to plain wire and the green to the striped wire  (you will splice the connector ends after routing the 
wires through the turn signal brackets). 
8) The Turn Signal brackets are disassembled. Each is made up of a thick plate, a black center part, and a thin 
outer plate. Remove the paper from one side of the black center part, align and press to the thick inner part with 
the tang away from the black center part.  
9) Rout the wires from the turn signal through the oval hole at the small end of the thin center part, polished 
side toward the turn signal, then and out the last hole in the opposite side (with the tang). 
10) Neatly arrange the wires in the center grove, remove the protective paper from the center part align and 
press together. 
11) Loosely install the turn signal with the 5/16-18x3” bolt supplied to hold the turn signal in place on the 
bracket.
