Section 2 - Disassembling The Factory Lid - Cont.
2. With the tether off,
fold the factory lid all the
way over, exposing the
5 screws highlighted by
white arrows in Fig 1.4.
When these are removed,
the factory lid will be free
from the saddlebag.
Figure 1.4
NOTE: With the factory lid off the bike, you will see a metal "strip" between the rubber
gasket and the lid itself that the screws just removed threaded into. This metal strip must
be removed as it will be used to install the new lid.
Section 3 - Preparing The New Lid
1. In the kit, you will see 2 lengths of rubber gasket material (one for each lid). Before
applying the supplied rubber gasket, you will need to clean the area the gasket will stick
to. Use a mild cleaner such as 99% Isopropyl alcohol, but nothing aggressive like Acetone,
as Acetone will destroy the lid.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any adhesives in this kit be applied at room
temperature or higher.
2. T h e w h i t e a r r o w i n
Fig 1.5 shows where we
suggest you start applying
the gasket. Be careful not
to stretch the gasket when
applying. When all the way
around, you can expect to
have approx. 2.0" (5cm) left
over to cut off (a sharp razor
knife is suggested for this).
Figure 1.5
3. With the gasket installed, insert the factory metal strip (5 screws) between the gasket
and the new lid, and then re-install the 5 factory machine screws the same way they came
off the factory lid. The new lid will now be attached to your saddlebag.
