RATION
•
Measure the clearances between both the
front and rear upper dampers and the up-
per mounting bracket with the saddlebag
lightly pushed by hand against the mounting
bracket.
•
If the clearance is 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) or more
at the front and/or rear, adjust it. Insert one or
two flat washer(s) between the upper damper
and the mounting bracket until it is less than
1.0 mm (0.04 in.) at the front and/or rear.

bolts (D = 8, L = 75)(2), (through the flat
washer(s) if necessary) and tighten them se-
curely.
