Roller Bag Instruction Sheet

Please Read! It is very important to us at DOWCO Inc. that you, our customer, read and understand these installation

instructions. If while reading these instructions you are unsure about securing the bag please contact us at
1-800-558-7755.

- This luggage is recommended for use with a sissy
bar/backrest and luggage rack combination which is per­manently attached to the motor-cycle. Mount the bag at
this location ONLY.

- Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended load

capacity of the luggage rack or motorcycle.

- Consult your owner’s manual for tire inflation pressures

and gross axle weight rating. Failure to follow recom­mended weight loading capacities may affect handling.
This may result in injury or property damage.

- Secure the bag to the vehicle so the bag will not shift
during operation.

-Verify that straps do not obstruct reflectors, turn signals,

or tail lamp.

- Verify that mounting straps will not contact rear wheel
during operation.

- The bag’s extendable pull handle must be fully retracted

before operation of the vehicle.

Installation Instructions:

1. Open and loosen the (2) hook & loop straps on the back side of
the luggage, and lower the bag onto the luggage rack with those
straps going around the sissy bar/backrest.

2. Be sure the bag is centered and sitting firmly on the luggage rack
and tighten the hook and loop straps around the backrest. Close

(fasten) the hook & loop straps to secure the bag (see Fig. 1).

3. Locate the zippers on either side at
the bottom of the bag. Open them
and pull out the two short straps with
buckles (see Fig. 2). Also locate the
mounting strap kit included with the
bag. Connect the long mounting
straps to the short straps that are
attached to the bag. These straps use
side release buckles to offer quick
attachment and release.

4. Loop the long mounting straps (on both sides of the bag)
around the directional indicator bar (or similar sturdy mounting
area), and connect the final side release buckles (see Fig. 3).
Be sure the buckle has “snapped” into place, and the connec­tion is secure.

5.Pull the slack out of the loose end of the strap to tighten.

Excess strap material should be knotted or cut off.

Allowing straps to hang loose may
cause damage to packs and/or painted
finishes. Hanging straps may become
entangled in the wheel or chain.

second, double pull zipper that will permit access to the two

pockets, make certain that the load is properly
balanced on both sides of the bag to prevent
unwanted shifting during vehicle operation.
