Full details

Ideal for commuters and adventure riders using SW Motech Side Bags WP or the Legend Gear series, this system uses an integrated Fidlock magnetic mechanism to ensure bags snap into place effortlessly.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this carrier waterproof?
The carrier itself is made of forged steel and is weather-resistant, but it does not provide waterproofing to the bags. Ensure you use the specific Side Bags WP for waterproof performance.
Does this work with my current soft bags?
The V-LOC system is specifically designed for SW Motech Side Bags WP and the Legend Gear series. It may not be compatible with universal strap-on bags.
Is the anti-theft device included?
The anti-theft device is an optional accessory for this system and is typically sold separately.
Can I mount this on the right side of my bike?
This specific part number is designed for the left side of the motorcycle. You will need the corresponding right-side carrier for a full set.
How heavy are the bags I can carry?
The forged steel construction is designed to hold standard touring and commuting loads. Always consult the specific bag's weight limit documentation.
Troubleshooting
Bag does not 'click' into place
Check for debris on the magnetic surface and ensure the bag is aligned correctly with the guide pins.
Mechanical lock feels sticky
Clean the locking mechanism with a mild solvent and apply a light touch of silicone lubricant.
Visible vibration during transit
Check the mounting bolts on the bike frame to ensure they are torqued to the manufacturer's recommended setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and the tools provided in the kit. Follow these steps for best results:
- Ensure your motorcycle model is verified for the `VMC.07.968.10000` part number before beginning.
- Attach the forged steel bracket to the frame using the provided model-specific connecting elements, ensuring all bolts are tightened to factory torque specifications.
- Verify the alignment of the magnetic guide points; the bag should seat with an audible 'click'.
- For maintenance, periodically wipe the magnetic contact points with a clean, dry cloth to prevent debris build-up.
- Inspect all mounting hardware every 3,000 miles or after heavy off-road use to ensure no vibration-induced loosening has occurred.
