Tsukayu Mounting System
With our mounting
brackets, you may install your hardbags wherever you want them to be. Your
hardbags will stick very closer to
your fender and you may install them to a very low position, even just above the
pipe!!
All
mounting brackets, bolts and metal washers are made of chrome quality stainless steel, they are
durable and reliable.

1. Place a piece of 1inch thick foam ( from the package) over the pipe as a
spacer, the minimum spacing between the bags and the pipes will then be 1 inch.
Bolt the brackets on with the supplied spacers tighten enough to reposition with your hands, yet hold the position for permanent installation.. There must be
enough clearance between the brackets and frame ( and chain cover ) on both
sides. Start with the exhaust side to position with the pipes.
|
 |
2. Put painters tape on the estimated area to be drilled to protect it from
scratches and to give a surface to mark the drill points on. Used thick black
Rustolium paint or water based white board marker to coat the top of the brackets. Next, position the bag to exactly where you wanted and pressed it
against the brackets so the paint marks transferred onto the taped back of
the bag. Remember your clearance!
|
 |
| 3. If you pressed hard enough you can read the marks from the brackets. Get
your drill with the 5/16 bit, center on your marks and drill all 4 holes. Change
out to the 3/8th bit and drill ONLY the bottom 2 holes. This will give you a little
adjustment room for final fitting, drill the other two holes after adjustment. |
 |
4. Test fit the bag, AGAIN! Check your clearances. Do not use the rubber
washers or spacers yet. Snug all the bolts on the bag and attached to the bike.
Once you have verified everything lines up. Remove the bags WITH the brackets STILL ATTACHED. You are going to use this assembled side to
transfer the measurements to the other bag.
|
 |
| 5. Take the other brackets and tape then opposed to the correctly mounted
brackets on the bag you just mounted. Align and tighten them to the bolt holes.
Since what you want to do is mirror/transfer the bolt holes. Tape the back of your undrilled bag like was done before. You'll do the same thing with the paint marks in the next step. |
 |
| 6. Place the bags facing each other on a flat surface, on a soft towel of blanket.
Use a straight edge to back both bags against so they are in line front to rear.
Slide the undrilled bag away and back in to see how the bolts will touch to mark the back. Mirror/transfer the bolt holes as was done in step2. Drill your holes as you did on the first bag. Peel and discard the tape. |
 |
|
7. Now install the bags. Put one fender washer on the inside of the bag and the
rubber sealing washer in the outside for each bracket. Bolt the bags on, making
small adjustments as you tighten the bag.
