Make sure the top front of each saddle bag does not rub up against the painted peice in front of them. You will notice there is very little clearance, for example the left bags right front top cover is less than an inch from the painted peice behind it. Also make sure when you open and close the saddle bag tops that you dont rub them against the same peice.

I'm trying to picture what you described and having a little trouble. Do I need to make sure the bag isn't rubbing on sidecovers or somewhere else? thanks.

I know the only thing I'll be focused on is getting my new baby out on the road, so I ask for your collective wisdom here- what things should I make sure I focus on during the "orientation?" Some things are obvious, such as control locations and so on, but what's important that might not seem to be at the time? Thanks!
Stand back away from the bike so you don't drool on it. [sm=drooldude.gif]

Ride safe and enjoy! [sm=smiley16.gif]
You know I'm going to have to clean it by the time I get home for just that reason [sm=smiley20.gif]

The bags somethimes rub on the side covers, mine did cause I didn't have this list then and noone told me about it...can't see it when the bags are on, but I know its there and thats bad enough. It's a tight fit there.

your seat might rub against the saddle bag cover in due time. The some seats tend to spread over time causing it possibly interfer w/ opening saddle bag cover.. I jus had my seat pulled tighter and re-stapled.. Jus something to monitor...
