4 Point Docking Hardware "PROTECTIVE TAPE"
What is the purpose of the 2 pieces of 3M Protective Tape that come with the Four Point Docking Hardware Kit?
Ive looked at the Bracket on the bike several times and cant figure out what its protecting.
The directions show it needing to be installed on the inside of the rear saddlegag bracket.
Thanks

I just installed mine. I figure that it is used to protect the Painted Surface on the Saddlebag lid from incidental nicks from the rack when installing or removing the Tour Pac. I put it on the edge of the lid right above the latch. This is next to the point the rear mount is on the Four Point Docking Hardware. That is where I deduced the instructions directed the tape to be mounted.

Weird.... My diagram shows the Rear saddlebag bracket and the tape placed right in the center of it facing the bracket on the bike.
Where you put the tape actually makes some sense as it would protect the paint.
The only thing I guess it would protect the way the diagram shows is the bracket on the bag scratching the 4 point dock bracket you just installed.

Mount your bags after installation of the docking hardware and look for the possible contact points (will match or be close to recomendation in instructions), pull bags off and install tape.
