He meant to say, counter clockwise, and hold onto the bag when you remove the second zue.

First thing on your WISH-LIST should be: BUY THE BOOK (Manual)

You'll save yourself hours of hitting your head up against the wall...

STOP...do&nbsp\\;NOT pass go...do&nbsp\\;NOT&nbsp\\;touch that bike until you sit down and read the owners manual...or it's going to cost you way more that $200 to fix the things you screw up.

RE: Saddlebag removal.

I bet you learned one lesson..... watch who you ask for help.... The best advice I got on this site was said above, and I want you to heed it, get the service manual. It's about $50 from www.chicagoharley.com It'll make every repair, modification you want to do a million times easier.
