XB9R REMOVABLE SADDLEBAG KIT
General
This saddlebag kit fits all 2003 and later Buell XB9R Firebolt
model motorcycles.
See the Service Parts illustration for a list of items contained
in this kit.
1WARNING
Improper positioning or fastening of these saddlebags
could cause them to interfere with the operation of the
motorcycle.The fastening straps and the saddlebags must
be clear of the rear wheel, drive belt, sprocket and rear
brake components. The turn signals should remain clearly visible from the rear of the motorcycle. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in death or serious injury.
Installation
1. Ensure that the tail section of the motorcycle is clean and
dirt free.
2. See the Service Parts illustration. Using a T27 TORX
drive head, remove the two screws holding the tail section underside shield.
3. Install the saddlebag bracket (3) as shown, reinstall the
screws and tighten securely.
1WARNING
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108
requires all motorcycles to be equipped with side
reflectors. The mounted saddlebags will cover the
factory-installed rear side reflectors on these vehicles.
5. Mount the new reflector relocation brackets (4) to the
stock reflector mounting brackets as shown. Attach each
relocation bracket through the slots in the stock bracket
with two screws, flat washers and lock nuts from the
Hardware Kit (5). Slide the relocation bracket to the rearmost position and tighten securely.
6. Remove the outer release liner of the foam tape on the
relocation bracket. Mount the stock reflector squarely to
the bracket, and press firmly in place.
7. Remove the passenger pillion (and pillion cover, if
mounted), and set aside.
8. Position one of the saddlebags to the side of the motorcycle tail section with the Buell logo facing out, and to the
rear. Hook the mounting pocket on the back side of the
bag onto the saddlebag bracket mounted earlier. Repeat
for the other saddlebag.
9. Bring the saddlebag straps up and over the tail sectiion.
Pull the right-side straps up through the buckle eyes on
the left-side straps, remove any slack and fasten the
hook-and-loop material.
10. Note the points where the saddlebags and straps contact
the motorcycle tail section. Two lengths of clear protective tape have been provided in the Hardware Kit. If
desired, cut and fit lengths of the tape to those areas of
the tail section to prevent damaging the finish.
11. Replace the passenger pillion (and pillion cover if
desired). Position the front tongue on the pillion over the
saddlebag straps.
1WARNING
Reposition, or have a dealer reposition, the original rear
side reflectors supplied with this motorcycle or apply
new ones. If this is not done, the loss of visibility to other
motorists may result in death or serious injury.
After installing pillion, pull upward on front of pillion to
be sure it is locked in position. If pillion is loose, it could
shift position during vehicle operation while carrying a
passenger, resulting in loss of control of vehicle and
death or serious injury.
NOTE
New reflectors (Part number 59256-84A) are available from
your Buell Dealer.
In Use
NOTE
When removing adhesive residue, take care to keep from
scratching or damaging the reflector, mounting bracket or
surrounding parts.
1WARNING
Do not exceed 3 lbs (1.4 Kg) maximum load in each saddlebag. Carry an equal amount of weight in each saddlebag. Improper loading can cause vehicle handling problems which could result in death or serious injury.
4. Use a thin flat blade, like that on an X-Acto knife, and
carefully pry the reflectors off of their mounting brackets.
Remove the adhesive residue from the brackets and the
back of the reflector.
