Softail Slim Detachable Hardware installation

Hi,

I am installing the detachable sissy bar/saddle bag hardware on my Softail Slim. I ordered the parts online but unfortunately it did not come with instructions. There are a ton of washers/lock washers/nuts etc. I want to make sure that I get the all on in the correct order. It doesn't look like it would be too hard to figure out but it would be great if someone could help me out a little.

I don't want to get it all mounted up and then find out when the bags/bar get here that its all fubar'd.

Anyways, its the detachable hardware (PN 90200389) with the license plate/turn signal relocation (PN 67900127 + PN 67800065).

Could someone give me a discription of the order or better yet a picture of the hardware installed?

Any help would be much appreciated.

i think you can download the instructions from the Harley website. At least some parts you can.

Definitely post photos, as i was thinking ordering the sissy bar etc.

Unfortunately the instructions are not available from Harley. I tried customer service at Surdyke but they didn't have it either.

I can't help you with the install - but are you possibly changing up the side license plate mount? If so - I'd be interested in buying the OEM setup from you. (I'd need the plate mount, as well as the shorty signal stem.) Let me know - Thanks!

Good luck with the parts!

LMK if this is what you were looking for - and IF you're gonna replace the side mount!

Thanks!
