Your Saddlemen Versa-Mount has been designed to secure a Saddle-
men backrest bag, or any back-seat style luggage, to a variety of mo-
torcycles using the included mounting straps (A) to attach the bag to
an adjustable yoke that is placed under the seat. The Versa-Mount’s
under seat, yoke-and-strap mounting system will hold your bag in
place better than using straps or elastic cords alone. You (or your
professional motorcycle technician) will need to determine the best
mounting configuration for your motorcycle or scooter.
1. Remove the seat from your motorcycle (see your motorcycle own-
er's manual if you need instructions).
2. Assemble the two piece yoke using the hook & loop fastener
panels. See image to the right, (A). Line up the two panels so that the
outer D-rings are set far enough apart to fit your intended luggage
between them. Press down to secure the hook & loop fastener. The
center security strap (B) should be secured snugly to its D-ring. The
security strap should be facing up, away from the fender, to avoid
damaging your paint.
3. After thoroughly cleaning your fender to avoid dirt scratches, set
the combined yoke onto your rear fender, under where the back seat
would go. Reinstall the seat on top of the yoke.
4. Each mounting strap (C) has metal clips on both ends, as well as a
buckle for adjusting the strap length. One end of each strap features
a protective flap (D) designed to keep the metal clip from contacting
your bike's paint. Connect this end to the yoke.
5. Set your bag onto the seat and connect the metal clip (E) of the
security straps to suitable D-rings (F) located on your bag. Adjust
the length of the straps to tighten the bag to the seat, and cinch the
straps down. Secure any loose or extra strap material.
NOTE: Connecting all four straps to D-rings on the bag will aid in the
stability of the bag on the seat.
6. Cut off or secure any excess security strap material so it will not
interfere with the motorcycle’s controls, suspension, wheels or other
components. If you choose to cut off the excess strap material, you
can seal the cut edge of the strap by melting it with tip of a soldering
iron or a small flame (lighter). Use caution to avoid damaging the
strap during the sealing process. Keep a cup of water nearby to cool
the strap after sealing.
