They look upside down...

The bits sticking out bolt into the insides of the rear of the footrest hangers (1/4 UNC IIRC)

You will then see where the other holes line up under the grab rail.

Obviously the joining bit should miss the Tyre, it’s mot obvious that it will from looking at the pic so it may be the wrong bit.

We've found the Touratech system on our Ulysses to be extremely useful and rugged. Used with inner bags they're a doddle to unload/load.
