TOOLS SUGGESTED
Set of Hex Wrenches, Drill and Drill Bit Set, Center Punch, Masking Tape, Non- Permanent Marker STRICTLY OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES IN ORDER TO USE THE PRODUCT PROPERLY AND AVOID POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS.
NOTICE: If installing this product for another party, please make sure
they receive this copy of the installation instructions so they are aware of
the important information contained in them.
NOTICE: This product was designed to fit many different models of the
trunk lid. It is up to the installer to determine the best installation. The
following are GUIDELINES to assist in the installation of the Multi-Rack.
- STEP 1: Read and understand all the steps in the instructions before starting the installation. Park the motorcycle on a hard, level surface and turn off the ignition.
- STEP 2: Determine the best mounting location of the Multi-Rack by holding it above the trunk lid. PIC 1 NOTICE: Each mounting foot requires at least a 1 1/8 inch diameter FLAT area to mount. DO NOT mount all four feet on the center two bars. It is highly recommended that the clamp/stand assemblies be positioned as far apart front to back as possible. DO NOT attach the clamp assemblies on a bend in the rack bars.
- STEP 3: Mark the locations for the clamp on the rack with masking tape or a non-permanent marker. Mark the locations of the feet on the lid with masking tape. PIC 2
- STEP 4: Determine the best combination of mounting legs.
- NOTICE: Short, Medium, and Tall mounting legs have been included to accommodate different-shaped trunk lids. PIC 3 It is recommended to mount the rack as horizontally as possible. Select the combination of mounting legs that will allow for the most horizontal position.
- STEP 5: To allow for adjustment, loosely assemble the clamp/stand assemblies at the marks on the rack. Loosen the socket head cap screw in the clamp assemblies until they are able to be slipped over the rack bars. Snug the fasteners to allow adjustment of the clamps on the rack bars.
- NOTICE: Tightening the socket head cap screw in the clamp assembly will simultaneously secure the clamp to the bar and the mounting leg. PIC 4 Ensure that the mounting legs remain in the clamps when attaching to the rack bars. Ensure that the o-rings remain installed on the mounting leg ball end. PIC 4
- STEP 6: Gently rest the rack on top of the tape marks on the lid to confirm the fitment of the mounting locations. PIC 5 Make any necessary adjustments to the clamp/stand assemblies. Slightly loosen the clamps to avoid scratching the rack bars. See NOTICE on the next page.
- NOTICE: The mounting legs should be secured perpendicularly to the trunk lid surface. PIC 6
- STEP 7: Ensure that the rack is in the correct position, the legs are adjusted to contact the lid perpendicularly and the spacing between the clamp assemblies is sufficient. With a non-permanent marker, trace around the mounting legs on the masking tape.
- STEP 8: Using a center punch, mark the center of the mounting locations determined in STEP 7.
- NOTICE: MEASURE TWICE – DRILL ONCE. Double-check all reference marks on the Trunk Lid BEFORE drilling. Küryakyn will not be responsible for incidental or consequential damages resulting from this installation. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance and that there are no obstructions on the underside of the trunk lid BEFORE drilling ANY holes.
- STEP 9: Using a 1/4-inch drill bit, carefully drill through the trunk lid at all four leg locations.
- STEP 10: Loosely attach the Multi-Rack to the trunk lid. Insert the #10-24 x 1 1/8” Socket Head Cap Screws through the wide flat washers and rubber washers, through the trunk lid, 2nd rubber washers, Round Rack Foot Bases, and into the mounting legs. PIC 7
- NOTICE: The two 10-24 x 7/8” Socket Head Cap Screws have been included for use with the Short Mounting Legs. In some instances, the mounting legs may spin while tightening the 10-24 fasteners. If this occurs, loosen the 10-24 socket head cap screws in the CLAMPS until you can remove the rack and the clamps. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver in the slot at the top of the mounting leg to prevent the leg from spinning while the screw is tightened. Replace clamps and rack and tighten all hardware.
- STEP 11: If you are satisfied with the location and position of the Multi-Rack, tighten all hardware securely.
- WARNING: THE LUGGAGE RACK HAS A 5-POUND LOAD CAPACITY. IT IS UP TO THE RIDER TO USE THE RACK IN A SAFE AND PROPER MANNER. OVERLOADING OR USING THE RACK IMPROPERLY MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE MOTORCYCLE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE RIDER AND/OR THEIR PASSENGER.
