* This strap is recommended for use with a sissy bar/backrest and luggage rack combination which is per-

manently attached to the motorcycle. Mount the bag at this location ONLY.
* Secure the bag to the vehicle so the bag will not shift during operation.
* Allowing any straps to hang loose may cause damage to packs and/or painted finishes. Hanging straps

may become entangled in the wheel or drive chain or belt resulting in serious personal injury and/or
property damage.
