New Packaging
From 1July 2007, Tsukayu will use two different kind of packing material. One is normal carton box, another is fiberglass box as shown below. Customers will receive their Tsukayu products stored in either carton box or fiberglass box depends on destination country. (e.g all United States order will be shipped with fiberglass box).
Our fierglass box is very strong, with much improved protection to the Tsukayu products inside, the lids are put into the luggage boxes instead of preinstalled to further protect the lids from damage during shipment. Customer will need to go through the following simple steps for installing the lids, installing the lids involves installing the hinges and lid supporters, all you need to do is just installing 2 nuts and 2 bolts on each side. The whole assembly process will take you only 3-5 minutes. Please click here for details and assembly guide. |
Installation
guide
1. Place a piece of 1inch thick foam ( from the package) over the pipe as a
spacer, the minimum spacing between the bags and the pipes will then be 1 inch.
Bolt the brackets on with the supplied spacers tighten enough to reposition with your hands, yet hold the position for permanent installation.. There must be
enough clearance between the brackets and frame ( and chain cover ) on both
sides. Start with the exhaust side to position with the pipes.
Tips
* Make sure to adjust the
brackets to where keeping clear of the caliper and belt guard. The
brackets do not necessary being straight down.
|
 |
2. Put painters tape on the estimated area to be drilled to protect it from
scratches and to give a surface to mark the drill points on. Used thick black
Rustolium paint or water based white board marker to coat the top of the brackets. Next, position the bag to exactly where you wanted and pressed it
against the brackets so the paint marks transferred onto the taped back of
the bag. Remember your clearance!
|
 |
| 3. If you pressed hard enough you can read the marks from the brackets. Get
your drill with the 5/16 bit, center on your marks and drill all 4 holes. Change
out to the 3/8th bit and drill ONLY the bottom 2 holes. This will give you a little
adjustment room for final fitting, drill the other two holes after adjustment.
Tips
* drill slowly, and stop drilling when the fiberglass is just drilled
through to avoid the carpet to be tear off, then use a cutter to cut out the
carpet instead of drilling through the carpet. |
 |
4. Test fit the bag, AGAIN! Check your clearances. Do not use the rubber
washers or spacers yet. Snug all the bolts on the bag and attached to the bike.
Once you have verified everything lines up. Remove the bags WITH the brackets STILL ATTACHED. You are going to use this assembled side to
transfer the measurements to the other bag.
|
 |
| 5. Take the other brackets and tape then opposed to the correctly mounted
brackets on the bag you just mounted. Align and tighten them to the bolt holes.
Since what you want to do is mirror/transfer the bolt holes. Tape the back of your undrilled bag like was done before. You'll do the same thing with the paint marks in the next step. |
 |
| 6. Place the bags facing each other on a flat surface, on a soft towel of blanket.
Use a straight edge to back both bags against so they are in line front to rear.
Slide the undrilled bag away and back in to see how the bolts will touch to mark the back. Mirror/transfer the bolt holes as was done in step2. Drill your holes as you did on the first bag. Peel and discard the tape. |
 |
| 7. Now install the bags. Put one fender washer on the inside of the bag and the
rubber sealing washer in the outside for each bracket. Bolt the bags on, making
small adjustments as you tighten the bag. |
