BAGGER ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 7)
For proper bag function and appearance, it may be nec-
es sary to adjust the bagger assembly. There should be 6mm
(1/4")-9mm (3/8") gap between the bagger top and fender
and the bagger top surface should be even with the top
surface of the fender. To adjust bagger position:

• Slightly loosen the nuts securing the bagger RH and
LH hor i zon tal adjustment brackets. Loosen only enough
so the brackets keep their position, but allow them to
be moved.
• Move the brackets the amount forward or back ward you
wish the bag assembly to move. Retighten the nuts
securely.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
• Slightly loosen the nuts securing the vertical adjust-
ment brackets. Loosen only enough so the brackets
keep their position, but allow them to be moved.
• Move the brackets the amount up or down you wish the
bag assembly to move. Retighten the nuts securely.
• Reinstall the bagger as sem bly and check the bagger
to fender fi t. If necessary, repeat the procedure until
proper fi t is attained.
