1. The LED should light up and go out when you move the metal away If not check all your connections Next press the rightmost pushbutton on the handlebar switchbox and hold it for at least 3 seconds One or both LEDs on the switch panel should light up or blink we really don t care which at this point If this occurs you are doing well If both LEDs are flashing maintenance mode you can skip the next step which is to press both buttons until both LEDs flash Next press both buttons again for just an instant If everything is working the bottom or yellow LED on the switch box should flash and the top LED should be out The next step requires some care If the bike is still on the lift have a helper hang onto it as you touch the left button for just a split second The legs should move down likely until the wheels hit or miss the lift and they do this VERY quickly Again be careful as they could lean the bike if one wheel touches the lift and the other does not Press and hold the right button and they should move up Again with the bike on the lift you have to be very careful here If all of the above has occurred great If the legs are not all the way up press and hold the right button until it stops and turn the ignition switch off The test is now complete Let s move on to mounting the Proximity Sensor 21 MOUNT PROXIMITY SWITCH This step is crucial Understand it before starting The proximity sensor2. to give you as much of the saddlebag as possible and make sure the wires and components are ai not going to be chaffed or damaged 24 FINISHING UP Now it is time to reinstall everything you took off and do final checking of everything Reinstall the seat making sure all your wires are routed neatly tied off nicely and don t interfere with the seat installation Once all of this is accomplished we should get the bike on the ground and with a helper cycle the wheels up and down a few times having your helper make sure the air lines are not being scuffed or are over tight and that the wires are out of the way of anything that could damage them Double check all your bolts for tightness Now we can dial in the legs and adjust the wheels if needed LEAKS This system uses air and air loves to leak The fittings we use are tested for leaks before shipping but we have a few simple tests to make sure you have no leaks or just insignificant ones if any Set the wheels down and leave the system on Put the kickstand down and turn the bars all the way left If the compressor makes noise more than once every two minutes you may have a leak at the lines that connect to the compressor or the tank fittings Some soapy water will tell you where you will need to remove the compressor top to test for these leaks Assuming the compressor doesn t lose enough air to kick on after 2 minutes you should be fine You can turn
3. While the box has made this room for us we should push the three pin plug up under the seat through the same space you just brought the other plugs down through Now you can reinstall the electrical box With the plugs past the box the wire can be adjusted to get any extra length back under the seat later as we finish up 11 We need to find the fuse holder and the black wire with the hoop end and get it to the battery These two wires run direct power to the compressor when it needs it We can start this wire toward the forward right corner of the under seat area and run it out in front of the battery These two connectors get attached directly to the battery For now attach the wire with the fuse holder to the positive front battery terminal and leave the cable which should be disconnected already We like to put the fuse holder under the Yo rubber strap which keeps the ee eee a wires tame E tee MC When you have done this pull all the extra slack up into the area below the seat Let s plug some things together Discomnect the black fender plug under the seat and plug the double white plug in between the plugs from the bike don t worry about the small black appendages they are not used for anything Connect the Control Switch Box plug to 1ts mating connector under the seat and plug the proximity sensor plug 3 pin to 1ts matching connector If everything went according to plan you should

5. the hole the rest of the way allowing the bit to wander its way into the existing hole It is no big deal if the hole winds up outside the hole in the inner support metal but with a little care you can avoid this Next you can punch and drill full size the upper hole as this is though plastic only Make sure both holes are smooth as we will be running air lines through them and burs are not desirable here Once complete set the bag aside rather than reinstalling 1t on the bike CONTROL SWITCH BOX Control Box Plug Remove the bolt on the top of the left switch housing on the handlebar Find the long chrome bolt thread it through the Control Switch Box insert the spacer on the bolt and with a drop of Blue Loctite thread the bolt into the switch housing Square the box before tightening the bolt you may have to re align the mirror for clearance Route the wire inside the clutch lever and down the bar Use wire ties to hold the wire to the bar Run the wire through the top triple tree 1f you can to control it The idea here 1s to get the wires neatly to the front of the tank and routed under the tank It may be easier to remove the plug end and tape the silver plug ends together for this We have some pictures below to give you an idea of what this looks like On some bikes it is easier to loosen or remove some of the tank mounting bolts Make sure the wires do not interfere with anything under the tank and that the
6. wheels up to wheels down Practice these maneuvers until you are comfortable with the wheel adjustments and the system operation SEMI AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT Another way to deploy the legs is semi automatically First we must be SURE that the proximity sensor is working properly or the wheels could come down at higher speeds than we wish If you are travelling at a speed over 10 MPH AND the yellow light bottom on the handlebar control is out hit the left button The bottom or yellow LED should start to flash When you slow down to around 5MPH the wheels will deploy see the red green flash on top LED Again prepare to put your feet down IF the lower LED is lit at a speed over 10 MPH don t hit that button see caution below NOTE The bottom LED Should not be LIT SOLID if the bike ts travelling over I0MPH In the event it is the wheels will deploy instantly if you try to set them as above this is dangerous You MUST re visit the sections on testing the proximity sensor You should always be aware that this light should NOT be on if you are traveling at speed and Arming the system for deployment should only be attempted if the lower LED ts Not Lit Please see the User Manual for more information on Proximity Sensor Failure 30 The next thing to try is to make a turn from a dead stop with the wheels down As soon as you start the bike moving turns can only be made by using the handlebars The LegUp system is too strong to allow
7. 4 fat tubing to the air tank and push the extra hose into the bag via the bottom hole We also need to take two small lines and pushed them in to the top hole we drilled into the bag Now we can re install the saddlebag Once it is on pull the extra slack of the hose into the bag Next we install the compressor for clean cuts and inserted into the T fitting at the front of the compressor Your fittings may be different in color Leave a bit of slack in the line but make sure it 1s under the top of the silver standoffs so the top cover can be re installed Next we want to hook up the small lines We like to make a loop and tie 1t loosely so when we take the bag off there is some extra slack Keep track of which line 1s left and which 1s right We just make a loop and install the left line in the front connector that is all the way in the back of the bag and the right one in the back Take the three lines and put them out of the way as we have here we tucked them under the cloth that holds the lid The compressor is a tight fit so slide it in with the two standoffs toward the front Usually keeping the back lower than the front is the easiest and work it all the way to the back of the saddlebag The bottom of the compressor mount is contoured to fit the bag so when it finds the spot that it is happy in it will stay there on its rubber feet We next attach the air lines as shown in the next p

9. The way we do this is to run the line through the guide in the mount then through a slightly loose wire tie on the floorboard mount Then using your hand you can lower the leg all the way down which should pull some slack Then you can tighten the wire tie a bit and move on to the frame down tube and tie it to that Now test the line again by lowering and raising the wheel If there is no bind and there is plenty of slack great if not try again You should do the same with the right side next Just be sure there is plenty of room for the lines to move Then you can start working back tying off the lines Tighten the lines under the fender strut and just leave the end wild for now These are air lines so tie them off snugly but too tight could restrict the air flow On to installing the compressor 17 INSTALL THE COMPRESSOR Now we are going to get the compressor installed in the saddlebag and get the air lines and plugs attached to it The picture shows the compressor and its top the way it should have been shipped to you First we need to remove the top as it won t be needed until the very end We do this by removing the three nylon nuts on the top of the plate These are only hand tight and will be put back on without any tools as well Once the top is off the compressor should look like the picture below Now we have to prepare the saddlebag and mount it back on the bike First we need to attach the
10. a great deal of lean with the wheels down If you need to make a turn shortly after departing from a stop raise the wheels manually left button and you will get complete control again The next thing to try is slow speed maneuvering with the wheels lowered If you keep your speed down most slow speed maneuvers can be accomplished with your feet up keeping in mind that at about 6 MPH the wheels will come up automatically You can try full lock turns in both directions and the bike should stay upright with your feet up Because the wheels are right behind your legs when they are down we recommend not trying to push with your feet to move the bike forward Use the engine and keep your feet out of the way this way the legs don t bite at your heels as the floorboard always have Backing up using your feet works fine and the chore of balancing the bike 1s taken care of for you Practice practice practice Enjoy your LegUp System 31 ILLUSTRATIONS Proximity Sensor ao sensor side Compressor Plug Plug Black Hames side Brown Sensor pide Orange Harnese pide SADDLEBAG DRILLING TEMPLATE Print and Cut out Make Sure Dimension is Correct Some printers don t print to scale DELEG HARDWARE LIST 4 3 8 16 X 1 25 Cad Hex Bolts w split washers Floorboard Mounting Bolts 4 3 8 16 X 1 5 Chrome Allen Bolts Leg Attachment Bolts 2 5 32 Black Air Line 7 foot long 2 5 32 Black Air Line 1 foot long Va
11. adjustment may be needed If it has been determined that Maintenance Mode is needed Sit on the bike and hold it level If both lights on the switch box are flashing the system is in maintenance mode If not PRESS amp HOLD both buttons until all lights flash Do your best to press both buttons at the same time so the system doesn t respond to what it thinks is a request to lower the legs Once flashing hit both buttons for an instant to get the system in the DOWN setting mode lower yellow LED flashing Touch the left button briefly the wheels should go down immediately This is VERY quick don t be startled Using very short pushes of the left button press and then feel the stability of the bike If it feels firm enough try leaning the bike a bit If the wheels return the bike to upright there 1s likely enough pressure Put your feet on the floorboards the bike should stand on its own Rock the bike a bit left and right being prepared to put your feet down If the bike continues to come back to upright the DOWN stop is now set and we can move on Hit both buttons for a moment to get into the UP stop mode Usually hitting the left button just before the right assures that air is not released The top LED should now be blinking Press and hold the right button to raise the legs Listen as the air evacuates once it 1s quiet let go of the right button The UP stop is now set Hit both buttons when complete Both LED
12. bout 1 4 3 8 wide and just about the same deep Make sure the big wire that connects to the compressor and the computer fits into the notch without rising above the top of the edge of the bag see below aN itfa 23 You may see the white self adhesive clip just below the notch here We use that to guide the wire down the side of the bag so it lines up with the cutout in the top Don t install this until you know where the top will line up usually directly above the lines coming through the bag Now we will install the top and clean things up We need to make sure the compressor plug is attached and tucked in as we install the top Find the L shaped metal top that you removed from the compressor earlier The top mounts with the curved cutout toward the fender It is a tight fit so slanting it into the bag is best As you work the top over the 3 aluminum standoffs make sure the computer and plug sometimes it is easier to unplug the computer until the top is set are coming through the curved cutout as the plug and computer sit on top of the compressor system Once the top 1s fitted find the 3 nylon nuts and screw them on the three posts to secure the cover These are plastic nuts so no wrench is required here When complete you want to Velcro the computer onto the top and make sure the plug the compressor plug stays UNDER the top and wires look something like this Our main concern here is
13. drill are small and can be filled in if the system 1s ever removed We start by mounting the captive air tank and its included bracket to existing bolts on the left saddlebag Remove this saddlebag and place it as shown here on a soft non scratching surface The two bolts in this picture one circled the other being tightened get removed then the bracket and tank are placed over the bolt holes and the stock bolts are reinstalled us a bit of blue Loctite here Once these are installed we can move on to drilling for air lines The second to last page of this manual has a drilling template You will need to cut this template out carefully and attach it to the saddlebag This will allow you to drill one of the two holes through an existing hole in the metal support structure inside the saddlebag As you can see in the photo the template has two curves to match the curves on the upper and lower brackets on the back of the saddlebag Attach the template carefully with tape then using a punch mark just the lower hole so you can drill it The final hole size for these holes will be 5 16 but the bottom hole needs to be start drilled with a reasonably small 1 8 or smaller bit You will see why in a moment Once you have drilled the first hole look inside the bag The hole should have wound up coming through the existing hole we talked about earlier Assuming this 1s the case carefully use a 5 16 bit and drill
14. etraction of the legs as well as their deployment RELIES on this sensor being placed perfectly Once satisfied with the mount skip down to the wire routing instructions below Z2 WIRE ROUTING The Proximity sensor wire will run down the swing arm to the same frame down tube that you tied the air lines off to Use the supplied self adhesive tabs to secure the wire snugly to the swing arm Then leave a bit of slack and tie the wire to the down tube and do what you need to do to secure the wire safely and finally pull all the extra wire under the seat area Your wire from the handlebar should already be under the seat tied off to the handlebar neatly from the switch to the triple tree and secured safely under the tank Now 1s a good time to tie up all the wires under the seat First make sure you have all excess Slack pulled under the seat There 1s not a ton of room here on the Dyna so we loop our wires tie the excess as a bundle make sure they don t interfere with the seat and tuck them in as shown here We already have the two plugs in the left saddlebag now we need to cut a small notch in the top of the bag to wei hurting the wire as the bag is opened and closed This small notch will NOT compromise the weatherproof nature of the emita mu Make a mark near the back of the bag on the 88 inside lip as you see here We use a rotary bur but you can use a file or even a keyhole saw Cut a notch that is a
15. have all plug connectors under the seat plugged to their matching plus the positive battery lead with fuse holder should be connected to the positive battery terminal there should be a hoop connector near the negative battery terminal and on the left side you should have two big plugs waiting for a home and the proximity bracket and sensor with no place to go quite yet Next we need to secure the wires that go into the saddlebag to the left fender rail and leave enough wire for the plugs to reach the computer and the compressor 12 Start by getting the wire with the 2 big plugs on it run inside the left shock toward the back of the bike Next measure 8 inches back from the 12 pin biggest plug and mark the wire We are trying to make sure we have all the wire we need but not too much extra Run the wire under the chrome fender support and tie it off to the two fender supports On some bikes you can actually get the wire ties between the fender and the strut and secure them around the bolts on others with removable hardware you may have to secure it to the fender support itself he i J os n Eae E s X N 7h POT or the chrome saddlebag mounting points No Matter how you need to secure the wire make sure you have 8 inches of wire sticking out from the end of the saddlebag rail and that the wire 1s tight to the support You can now pull the extra wire back into the under seat area Late
16. he line running under the left floorboard mount and in front of the frame down tube toward the left side of the bike You should run this line all the way across to the other side and mark the end with masking tape as right Take the other line insert it into the right cylinder as you did on the other side Mark the far end as left and tie the marked ends together with masking tape so we can run them together We want to run the lines under the belt and toward the back side of the frame down tube as seen at left We will be tying off the lines soon but for now we want to guide these up to where the wire running along the fender support is We like to tie two loose wire ties to that wire and run the air lines through them We will adjust and tighten everything a bit later The main concern here is to make sure the lines are run where they will be safe from the belt or pipes or anything that could hurt them 16 Here is a picture of the lines running along the bottom of the fender support being tied off to the big wire running toward the back You don t want to make those ties tight at this point because we have to start from the cylinders and work our way back tying the lines down as we go Let s go to the left cylinder and start setting the lines up properly If you look at the picture below you will notice how some slack was left in the line and it was tied off to the floorboard mount This is very important
17. htly to the underside of the floorboard mount Find the mount for the side of the bike you are on and offer 1t up to the floorboard mount feeling the obvious spot 1t fits into Start 14 tightening the Allen bolts a little on each side Shortly the majority of the weight will be held by the bolts You need to get this very tight but must alternate so the mount stays even When you are done you should have the smallest gap on each side of the top mount and they should be about the same It is imperative that you make sure the mount is in the right place and that it is tight Here you can see the bottom of the floorboard mount and how it is even and snug against the mount Give it a tug it should be very stout If it is S LN install the other side in the same fashion and we can move onto running the air lines 15 RUNNING AIR LINES We need to route the air lines from the cylinders to the area near the left saddlebag You should find 2 long air lines of identical lengths On the right side of the bike press one end into the fitting on the back of the air cylinder These press in relatively easy but a small tug will make sure the line 1s seated Guide the line through the hole in the mount as shown by the arrow at left We now need to guide that line over to the left side of the bike as we will be running it with the other line away from anything that might damage it At right we have a picture of t

28. the next section Test Ride the wheel settings are fine Big Axe Low very low bikes On each supporting leg you will find two bolts down near the end by the wheels The two bolts control the angle of the Wheel Holders By moving the wheel forward or back we can tailor the length of the support arms to a particular bike A helper is handy here Make sure the wheels are up Make note of exactly which two holes the bolts are in Loosen the locking nuts from the back and remove the bolts you will notice the Wheel Holder can pivot on the big axle bolt Starting on the left side of the bike move the 27 bolts one hole counter clockwise Go to the right side and move them one hole clockwise Loosely fit the nuts no need to final tighten them at this point Lower the legs Is the bike more or less stable If it is more stable and you can sit on the bike and rock it back and forth without it leaning over you are done If not remove the bolts again and move them 1 in MEE Eire direction two holes and retest If everything is fine final tighten Y the lock nuts and you are done If you need to you can move the wheels from the lowest hole up one hole You can remove the wheel holders turn them over strap up instead of down for example and install them on the other side of the bike You can move the big axle from the low to the high hole All these techniques take patience but allow significant flexibility to tai
