Preparing the Saddlebag
1. 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.

2. Remove the saddlebag(s) and side cover(s) from the motorcycle and set on
a convenient, protected working surface.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
