Hard Saddle Bag Attachment
Does anybody have tips to putting the hard saddle bags back on? I seem to have a very diffcult time getting the rear pin to lock.

Install the rear pin first then front. I believe you can also adj the locking mechanism. Not sure though

Yeah, I tried that. It seems like the saddle bag sits too high on the mount so the pin doesn't go in straight.

just adjust everything so that your pins line up exactly with the holes when you put your bag on the bottom suppport. take a look to make sure your bags are lined up evenly on both sides. does not take long to get them perfect!

Check the rubbers on the bottom of the bag to make sure they are properly seated in the bag and on the chrome rail.

[sm=exactly.gif] I had one fall off when I was detailing the bike. Took me 15 minutes to figure out why the bag didn't fit properly. [sm=headbang.gif]

I had the same problem with with mine. Just adjust everything so it's lined up so the pin is lined up so it will slide right through. Once you figure that out you shouldn't have anymore problems. Good Luck....
