Section 1 - Bag and Lid Prep
Installation procedure
1. Start by removing the 2 screws on the underside of the lid that secures the grille in
place. Lift up slightly on the grille and slide out. Remove the saddlebag from the bike and
put it on a stable working surface (placing blankets, towels, etc. on your work surface will
help to protect the paint).
2. The white circle in Fig 1.1 is where a 3/4"
(19mm) hole will need to be drilled. This
hole is where the supplied rubber grommet
will go to allow the lid's speaker wire to pass
through from the saddlebag. Use masking
tape over the painted area to be drilled and
start with a small bit, gradually working your
way up to the 3/4" (19mm) hole. Drilling the
hole with the lid still on is recommended.
3. The supplied grommet in Fig 1.2 is "split" to make
the installation easier once the wire is in the bag. The
white circle in the picture shows a "plug" that can easily
be removed. If the only wire you have going into your
saddlebag is the speaker wire, leave the plug in place. If
you have a second wire for such things as lighting etc.,
removing the plug from the grommet will allow the
second wire to also pass through without having to drill
additional holes in your saddlebag.
Section 2 - Disassembling The Factory Lid
NOTE: As you disassemble your factory lid, make note of what screws came from where, as
they will be re-used.
