Bag Connection Options

With the docking unit in place you'll need to affix the button to the bag at the appropriate spot to meet the barrel and it will need to be supported. The button will come attached to a short length of alloy bar stock. Unlike decaleurs of the past, you will have the freedom to choose where the button is fixed to the bag. To facilitate this  we offer un-drilled mounting plates for sale with both offset and centered alignment.
Purchase mounting plates here

If you choose to use the mounting plate, remove the button from the bar stock and mount it directly to the plate, just make sure to add a fender washer to spread the load. 
Only the button and bolt heads need be visible when on the exterior of the bag when all is said and done.
