5- Place bags over the seat and/or rear rack. Depending on the width of your motorcycle, you may need to
adjust the height of each bag. Do this by adjusting the 2” seat strap webbing from the large center buckles.
Adjust so that the bags are nearly even with the top of the seat or rear rack. Fig.6

6- Insert the chrome slide on the side mounting straps into the 1” D-rings mounted on the rack (4 per bag).

7- Start with the side mounting straps front and rear. Turn and insert the chrome slide, at the end of the webbing
on the bag, through the D-ring at the bottom of the rack. Pull webbing so the chrome slide catches and cannot
slip through the 1” D-ring. Repeat this on all 1” D-rings on the side rack. Fig.8 & Fig.9

8- Repeat operation for all of the D-rings on the top and bottom on the other side rack as well.
9- Tighten the side mounting straps threaded through each cam buckle on front of each bag. Fig.10

Always use the seat straps.The Rocky Mountain Saddle Bags and racks are designed for these, as the
seat straps distribute the weight of the bag. Failure to use the seat straps can result in damage to the bags,
motorcycle and bodily harm. This will also void any and all warranties.
Loading the bags. You can load the bags either on or off the bike. The waterproof liners can be filled in or out
of the Rocky Mountain Saddle Bags.
12- Loading and unloading the bags while on the racks: You will have to loosen the four cam buckles on the
upper and lower side mounting straps to release the compression of the bag; doing this will make the waterproof
liners slip in and out much easier.
13- When closing the Rocky Mountain Saddle Bags drop in the waterproof liner, make sure you have rolled the
liners down to “burp” and let as much air escape as possible.
14- Roll up the main bag with a minimum of 3 rolls to create a tight seal. Fasten the side straps. Pass the top
compression strap through the upper 2” D-ring above the upper cam buckles and fasten to the top clip securely.

This strap keeps the Rocky Mountain Saddles pulled tight to the side racks, and prevents the bags from sagging.

15-For maximum safety make sure ALL straps are snug and secure. Make adjustments
as necessary.
To remove the Rocky Mountain Saddle Bags
You can remove the bags as a pair or individually.
16- Press the cam buckle to loosen all the side mounting straps (4per bag).
17- Pass the chrome slides back through the 1” D-rings on the “Other” side racks to free the straps. (Reverse
steps 3 and 4)
18- Lift bags off. If you want to take them off separately separate the 2” hook and loop seat straps.
On the exhaust side, be careful not to touch the exhaust as you can be burned!!!

Helpful hints
The Rocky Mountain Saddle Bags have one and two inch D-rings incorporated into the bags. Fig.3 These are
for attaching additional Wolfman products such as a small or medium Rolie Bag with our Wolfy SnapHook Kit
(for quick on/off)(Fig.15) or our Bottle Holster for additional fuel or water. Also there are four, one inch plastic
loops on the side of each bag that are for mounting our Bottle Holster to hold either a fuel or water bottle.
