Traveleer Saddlebags

Easy Off Saddlebag Mounting System For The Kawasaki Drifter 1500 Motorcycle

Our saddlebags go on and off by securing the saddlebags with wing nuts.  The wing nuts are simple to use and securely mount the saddlebags to the cycle.  Below are the instructions of how to mount the saddlebags to the bike using the Easy Off brackets. The Easy Off Saddlebag Mounting System with the flat plate bracket is manufactured specifically for the Kawasaki Drifter 1500 motorcycle.  The system is not universal.  

1. Hold up the large ¼” steel flat plate bracket up to the rear fender with the two holes with the bolts just above the helmet lock making sure you choose the bracket which flanges further away from the fender. (The brackets have a right and left side.)

2. Slide the 3” bolts through the large, ¼” flat brackets two upper holes and slide on one tube of the tubed bracket support.

3. Put on a washer and secure the tube with a nut.

4. Secure the other tube as done in step 3.

5. Tighten the lower two acorn nuts at the bottom of the side rods.

6. Remove the two bolts above the helmet lock. Remove the same bolts on the other side of the bike.

7. Bolt up the large flat brackets with the attached bag supports to the threaded hole with the provided 10mm bolts.

8. Hold up the saddlebag against the studs making sure the bag is level and at least 1.5” above the muffler and mark where the studs hit the bag.

9. Drill out the bag’s back at the stud’s mark on the back of the saddlebag first using a ¼” or so pilot bit. Then enlarge the hole. Slide on a washer to the two studs. Slide on the saddlebag to the studs.

10. Tighten up the saddlebags on the studs with a washer and a wing nut.

The Instructions may be long but are really made to be easily followed.
