Tired of having to fight with your saddlebags, backrest, fender and wrench all at the same time, just to check your brake pads or clean the rear wheel?

Now you can pull your bags in 10 seconds with no tools and no lining up parts for re-assembly!

Designed as an inexpensive alternative to "Quick Release" type systems, for full time bag users, Mocc's "Easy Off" bag kit replaces your fender bolts with stainless steel threaded studs and Zinc plated wing nuts and washers for quick and easy removal of your saddlebags.

Just reach inside the bag, spin off the wing nuts and pull the bag and support bracket off, do your business, slip the bag and bracket back on, and tighten the wing nuts. No dropping of the rear fender, no slipping of the backrest support, no wrenches, ratchets or extra helpers required.

Kit price is $23.00 which, as always, includes shipping in U.S. and Canada, payable by Paypal, check or money order only. (Canadian orders must be paid by U.S. Postal Money order or PayPal only)

The Easy Off Kit comes complete with four stainless steel studs (cut to your specifications), four Wing nuts, four flat fender washers, four internal tooth lock washers, four jam nuts (for locking the studs from the inside of the fender), four vinyl thread caps, and instructions. All components are Zinc plated except the stainless steel studs. (We use more expensive stainless stock to prevent rusting on the cuts)

Note-This kit is intended for full time bag users only. Riding without the bags, will leave unsightly threaded stock protruding from your fender struts. Not KEWL!

Two sizes available: (Please specify size or bag style when ordering)
 

Standard Kit - Fits Suzuki Studded side buckle bags and most custom bags (styles "A" and "B" below)
Style A - Early style Studded Leather with side buckle closure - Standard Kit
Style B - Late style Leather with side buckle closure - Standard Kit (Also C90T stock bags)

1.) First, reach behind your rear fender and feel for one of your saddlebag bolts protruding through the fender. If it protrudes more than a few threads, make a mental note of that.

2.) Remove one saddlebag mounting bolt and measure its total length including the head, and subtract any excess protrusion from the rear.

3.) Now add one inch to the resulting measurement for a total cut length of 8MM x1.25 pitch threaded stock.

4.) Cut four pieces of threaded stock to your measurements. (If it ain't stainless, it will rust on the ends.)

5.) Smooth down the ends and repair any thread damage with an 8MM x1.25 die.

6.) Purchase four each from whatever source you can find: 8MM Wing nuts, 8MM Fender Washers, 8MM internal tooth lock washers, 8MM nylon insert lock nuts, and 5/16" vinyl or plastic thread caps.

To avoid excessive fender drop, work on one side of the bike at a time.

Start by removing one bag and support bracket, leaving all other accessories in place. It may help to temporarily place one of the bolts back into the fender to keep it lined up.

1.) To create a grip surface for a stud, screw on two wing nuts, facing each other, and hand tighten them together. This will temporarily lock them into position on the stud and give you something to grip.

2.) Now screw that stud into the fender until it protrudes through the backside slightly more than the depth of a nut.

3.) Reach up under the fender and place a common nut on the protruding stud. Tighten the nut with a 13MM wrench while holding the wing nuts steady. This will "lock" the stud into place in the fender and prevent it from turning when removing and installing the bags.

4.) Unlock and remove the two wing nuts, and proceed to the next stud.

With both studs in place, simply slide on the bag and support together, then from inside the bag, slide on the flat fender washer, the internal tooth lock washer, and the wing nut, and tighten by hand, then slip the vinyl cap over the exposed threads of the stud to prevent injury or damage. The 5/16" caps fit fairly loosely so that they can be easily removed without damage.

As an added bonus, you might consider drilling a couple of pairs of small holes in the rear of the bag and securing the brackets to the bag with a pair of plastic zip ties, so that it stays in place when the bags are off.

I have personally used one of these kits for 10,000 miles without any of the wing nuts ever working loose on me. However, as a safety precaution, whenever the bags are opened, you should check the wing nuts for looseness.
