Quick Disconnect System Installation Instructions

[@derekhanners7505]

Why didn't you show how to install the docking posts? The hardware you sent me was wrong and I'd like to see how to install the posts.

Put these on my Can-Am Spyder F3. After staring at everything for quite a while I began making sense of it. Once I saw the “big picture” it went fast from there. The video is way too dark and not extremely helpful but it gets the job done. Got the bags on in about 1.5 hours and am happy with them so far. The locks are a pain to get to accurate on the bags but I don’t plan on locking them often anyways.

Video is too dark. Brackets are not fitting my bike. I can’t get it to sit so I can remove the key

[@superturboawesome1]

I'm baving a similar issue... did you get yours to work?

[@SinnerSince1962]

While the effort is appreciated: 1. The video is too dark. 2. Judging from viewer comments below, the hardware is not for every application. 3. Good customer service mandates follow-up later to answer questions about the video. Not one comment from Viking here. 3. Next time, spend the money and have someone produce your videos instead of doing it on the cheap.

I agree. I'm more confused now, after the video.

[@superturboawesome1]

So I just got mine and immediately I'm met with frustration. Yes, step 1, install docking posts, with the large spacers (not mentioned), but check the inside penetration of the bolt (again not mentioned) and grind/cut off excess. The bolts are 1" too long and will hit my rear tire whem the suspension compresses... Once that's done, the sliding bracket does not want to slide freely on the docking posts... I'm going to try lubricating and filing the bracket's edge to see if that helps, as it is quite sharp from the factory. I tried using a lot of pressure but it doesn't work well. I can't get the bracket to lock. This is as far as I've gotten... I don't own a grinder so I can't cut the bolts down... I'll try to finish this later

I'm trying to mount my Quick Disconnect Post on a 2016 Honda Shadow Aero. The Posts I got have an 8mm hole. But the bolt I need to use is 10mm. Almost like they want you to destroy your motorcycle.

[@RossMalagarie]

instead of having the bolt heads on the outside of the bracket why not on the inside of the bag that way it looks cleaner and you have more room inside the bag.

Why is this video so dark? Hard to actually see anything.

[@KathyFavilla]

A classic example of sacrificing function (clearly visible, intuitive and understandable) for form (the darkened video effects in an attempt to make it look "cool"). I really detest all of Viking Bags' videos because of this.

[@chrisopherbove6727]

Video is way too dark to be useful. The parts of it you can see are the back of the installer's wrist and his tattooed forearm. Pretty useless video.

[@guido1534]

5 years later and these brackets are still too wide. They look horrible

[@VikingBagsYT]

Hi Guido, our R&D team is working hard on a new solution, we are also making new videos. Please hang tight we will be uploading better instructions soon!

[@ChrisJones-el7bw]

@@VikingBagsYT will exisiting customers receive a discount on the new mounts once available?

[@VikingBagsYT]

@@ChrisJones-el7bw the mounts are the same, we are making new videos which will be much more user friendly

[@RLH1510]

Can't believe they are using bolts with hexagon head.... That is ugly to point I don't want it. Easy brackets use a round allen head that counter sinks into the quick disconnect spool. Anyone attempted to mount viking bags with Easy Bracket?

[@VikingBagsYT]

Hey guys! Sincere apologies for the inconvenience! We know this video can be confusing, we are working on a solution, making a new video that will be much more user friendly and easy to understand! Keep tight and stay posted!

[@Sparkey1810]

Just got these delivered today and would like to be updated on a new video please!

[@VikingBagsYT]

@@Sparkey1810 The video will take another week or two to be released, if you are having issues please call our customer service and a technical support can definitely help you with the process.

[@geraldmurrayjr6526]

Is this quick release sold separately or did it only come with certain sets?

[@VikingBagsYT]

@@geraldmurrayjr6526 they are sold separately! Go to Viking Bags navigation -> Cruiser -> Hardware -> Quick Disconnect System

[@metalmotorcycles5732]

Soooo... about that updated video...

[@bc1679]

This is a damn headache

[@dnanarv]

"Struggle, get pissed off and suffer" while disconnecting system. 'quick' my ass. I really love the bags but this system is crap

[@VikingBagsYT]

Were you able to install them correctly?

[@MitchelBenson]
