Preparing the Saddlebag
-
Remove the saddlebag lid(s) from the saddlebag(s) by first removing two T15 Torx screws that attach the soft hinge to the saddlebag. Then, remove two more T15 screws for the inner metal hinge. Set the saddlebag lid(s) aside.
-
Remove the saddlebag(s) and side cover(s) from the motorcycle and set on a convenient, protected working surface.
-
Turn each saddelbag over and set the clear plastic template over the bottom of the saddlebag. Using the provide 30mm drill bit, drill a hole thru the bottom of the saddlebag at each location indicated on the template.
Tip: Pre-drill each hole location on the template with a small drill bit & trace each location onto the bottom of the saddlebag.
-
Install a hydrophobic vent into each hole. Install each vent so the hydrophobic fabric is outside of the saddlebag. Tighten the ring for each vent hand tight inside the saddelbag.
-
Measure out the amplifier cabling hole locations using the center of the saddlebag mounting hole as reference. Use the provided 16mm drill bit to drill the two holes thru the saddlebag.
Fairing Removal
2014+ Street Glide & Ultra Outer Fairing Removal
- Remove three outer fairing bolts using a T27 Torx screw driver. The three outer fairing bolts are located below the windshield. Remove the windshield, store it and the screws removed in a safe place for reinstallation later.
