After installing mine; I forgot to mention something... :opps:
Getting the outer backer plates installed on the right-hand saddlebag is a whole lot easier, if you remove the muffler first. :thumbup:

Having had to replace one of my saddlebag pods because of a broken hinge I can definitely see at set of these in my future!

This picture will give you an idea of the extent you have to go to replace the pod! :yikes:

Wow, Bob, I just reached up there with my fingers and slipped everything in place and tightened it down. Of course I work with my hands all day long, too.

It's a good thing that you only have to do that once!

I would agree that the muffler makes it a bit of a pain, someone suggested removing the muffler shield, but I agree on miy bike removing the muffler would have made it faster, but I opped to just take my time and get the nuts on and tighten.

I should mention that I have absolutely NO manual dexterity... :shocked:
If I could install them; there's not a chimpanzee on the Planet, that would find the chore to be too tough! :thumbup:
