Saddlemen BR3400 Sissy Bar Bag

IMPORTANT:Attaching the supplied security straps 2 to solid mounting points is essential in order for the bag to stay attached to the motorcycle during rough riding conditions.

NOTE:
To adjust the inner mounting strap size and shape to other sissy bars, see the steps on page 3 of these instructions.

The bag (8) can also be mounted over the front of the sissy bar to rest on the passenger seat. Some riders elect this configuration so they can use the bag as a back rest.

NOTE:
When mounting the bag in front of a sissy bar, consider using the seat harness mounting method with the bag mounted backwards on the passenger seat so the rider can use the supplied back rest pad.

Do not mount the bag behind the sissy bar unless the motorcycle has a rear rack, as the bag could damage the rear fender and/or interfere with the motorcycle’s lights, suspension, wheels or other components.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the rods (3) are inserted into both the upper (1) and lower (2) loops on the bag when you are adjusting the size of the mounting strap. After putting a rod into both the upper and lower loops and the mounting strap loop, make sure the rod flap (5) is pressed down, to full engage the hook & loop fasteners. The security straps attach to the upper or lower D-rings (6) located on each corner of the bag.

Wide Sissy Bar Mounting Suggestion :

Tapered Sissy Bar Mounting Suggestion :

IMPORTANT: Make sure the rods are properly inserted into both the upper and lower loops (3) on the bag when you installing the outer mounting strap protective cover. After installing the rods and strap, make sure the rod flap (4) is pressed down, securing its hook & loop fasteners.

NOTE:
Make sure to have the hoop & loop fastener side of the protective cover facing outwards if you plan to use the supplied back rest pad (5).

Seat Mounting Harness & Security Straps :

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 adjustment strap (8). Keep this side up, towards the seat, to prevent damaging the finish on the fender.

Reinstall the seat.

Connect the male, quick release ends (10) of the security straps to the female buckles (9). The other end of the four security straps are equipped with metal, quick release hasps that will connect to D-rings on the bag.

NOTE:
Connecting the straps to the four upper D-rings on the bag will aid in the stability of the bag on the seat.

IMPORTANT: When removing the bag, disconnect the lower side release buckles so that the straps are removed with the bag. Do not operate the motorcycle if the straps are still in place after removing the bag, as the straps could interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the bag does not block or touch the vehicle’s tail light, turn signals, fender, suspension, wheels, or other components. Do not mount the bag near hot surfaces, such as the motorcycle’s exhaust. Cut off or secure any excess security strap material so it will not interfere with the motorcycle’s controls, suspension, wheels or other components.
