Instructions
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLATION. All "NOTE," "CAUTION" and "WARNING" notations are serious safety issues and
should be read carefully. Possible injury to riders or damage to the motorcycle and/or accessory may result if improperly installed.
These instructions contain important information for future reference and should be given to the customer.
• Because of the variety of motorcycle configurations, other accessories, and the features and intended use of this accessory, there could be 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.
• The bags must be installed and securely fastened onto the rear fender or seat. Saddlebag supports that bolt to your motorcycle are required to keep the sad-
dlebags from shifting and contacting the drive train, suspension, swingarm, brakes or wheel components.
• Install the bags securely so that they will not shift or move while riding. Make sure the mounting straps and hardware 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 all straps or components you may have already installed on your motorcycle.
• Thoroughly inspect your motorcycle luggage before every ride. Do not use the bags if the mounting system has been modified, deteriorated, loosened or are
beginning to fail.
• Continually check the security of the bags and strap attachments 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 5 pounds of total weight in each bag, its contents and attachments. Balance the weight equally per bag to minimize load effects on your
motorcycle's handling.
• When using this luggage, do not exceed your vehicle's Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight as listed on your motorcycle or in the manufacturer's owner's manual.
• Once the bags are removed from your motorcycle, all loose mounting straps must be removed or secured so that they will not contact or interfere with any
part of the drive train, suspension, brakes or wheels during riding.
• If your bags are ever damaged, do not use them until they have been inspected by your local professional motorcycle dealer. Replace them immediately if
there is damage that will prevent them from being properly secured to your motorcycle or able to securely hold their contents.
• 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.
