SEAT MOUNTING HARNESS & SECURITY STRAPS:
The Saddlemen Backrest, Seat & Sissybar Bag is supplied with an under-seat har-
ness-and-strap mounting system that enables you to securely mount your bag to your
motorcycle. This system will hold your bag in place better than using straps or elastic
cords, alone.
Remove the seat from your motorcycle. Set the left side
6
of the mounting harness with
the right side
7
of the harness on the top of the rear fender.
NOTE:
The “UP” side of the harness halves are connected with a D-ring and adjust-
ment strap

. Keep this side up, towards the seat, to prevent damaging the
finish on the fender.
Adjust the width of the connected harness halves using the adjusting strap
8
and the
hook and loop fasteners on each half of the mounting harness. Set the width of the
harness so the four female quick release buckles
9
will protrude just past the edge of
the seat (after it is reinstalled).
Reinstall the seat.
Connect the male, quick release ends
AT
of the security straps to the female buckles
9
.
The other ends of the four security straps are equipped with metal, quick-release hasps
that will connect to D-rings on the bag.
