Mounting Instructions

1.	Position the Interstate Saddlepacks where desired on the bike.
2.	Adjust the seat strap so that the saddlepacks hang squarely on the motorcycle. Once you have adjusted the strap to the proper length, secure each webbing end under the provided slide as shown in Figure 1.
3.	Next, connect the front stabilizer straps to the buckle assemblies. Determine a location for mounting the buckle assemblies on the motorcycle, trying to position them so that the strap will extend forward and down at about a 45° angle from the pack. See Figure 2.
4.	Bolt the buckle assemblies in this position using your motorcycle's existing hardware. For example, the rear foot peg is often a good location. (Note: The metal bar of this assembly is coated to resist corrosion. If you remove any excess length from the bar, the cut end should be primed or coated to prevent oxidation.)
5.	Snug, but do not tighten, the front stabilizer webbing straps.
6.	Locate the rear straps of each saddlepack. Connect them around the back end of the seat or turn signal area.
7.	Evenly tighten each of the front stabilizer straps and the rear signal straps until all mounting straps are taut. Be sure that the saddlepacks remain in the desired position.
8.	Finally, secure each webbing end of the front stabilizer straps and the rear stabilizer strap as shown in Figure 3.
9.	Be sure to compress the rear suspension of the motorcycle with the saddlepacks in place to ensure that they do not come in contact with the exhaust system or disturb the flow of exhaust gases from the muffler.
10.	Your Interstate Saddlepacks are now secure and stable. Once all loose webbing ends are tucked into the belt slides and buckles, excessive lengths of webbing can be cut off with a hot knife.

 

CAUTION: All points of contact between the saddlepacks and the finished surface panels of the motorcycle must be padded to prevent wear to both the saddlepacks and the finish of the bike.

SPARE PARTS
When ordering replacement and/or spare parts for the Interstate Saddlepacks, please refer to the following numbers:

Please Note
Eclipse Saddlepacks are constructed to carry normal touring loads. Please use common sense when loading these packs, and do not exceed the G.V.W. rating of your motorcycle. Eclipse, Inc. assumes no liability for the improper mounting or use of the product.

Service
Because every Eclipse product is built for years of use, our equipment can be easily off-mounted for periodic cleaning, maintenance, or adjustment. It takes more time and costs more to make our products this way, but it means your equipment will last longer.

Cleaning
If soiled, machine washing the Saddlepacks is not recommended. Wash with a hand brush using mild detergent in cold water, then thoroughly rinse the bag with running water. DO NOT machine dry. (Note that repeated cleaning will deteriorate the fabric's waterproof coating.)

Eclipse Warranty
If an Eclipse product should ever become unsatisfactory due to a defect in materials or manufacturing*, call us for instructions to return it with a dated proof of purchase for prompt repair or replacement, at our option. This warranty applies to Eclipse branded products and is given to the original purchaser only. Altered products will void warranty. Warranty coverage requires that items be returned to Eclipse, without modification, before final disposition of the warranty is assessed.
