and support webbing. Make sure the support web D-ring at the rear extends off the load.
2 Fold and place all lateral straps on top of the rear support web.
3 Place the second A-22 sling assembly to the rear. Position it in the same manner as the front
assembly. Make sure the D-ring on the front support web extends off the load.

in Figure 7-5.
1 Lay an A-22 cargo bag cover on the rear sling assembly with the cover squarely on top of the
scuff pad. Fold the front end flap in even with the front edge of the platform.
2 Repeat step 1 and lay a cover on the front sling assembly. Fold the rear end flap in.
3 Center a 36- by 96- piece of honeycomb on the cargo bag covers.
4 Glue two 36- by 36-inch pieces of honeycomb together, and glue them to the center of the
36- by 96-inch piece of honeycomb.
5 Glue three 24- by 36-inch pieces of honeycomb together, and glue them to the center of the
36- by 36-inch piece of honeycomb.

protector on the honeycomb stack.
4 Make a 6- by 8-inch cutout in the 84-inch edge of a 36- by 84-inch piece of honeycomb, 30
inches from the rear edge of the honeycomb. Bend the honeycomb just to the rear of the
cutout.
5 Cut a 6- by 8-inch piece of honeycomb from the corner of two 12- by 18-inch pieces of
honeycomb. Align the cutouts, and glue the two pieces of honeycomb together.
6 Set the protector on the right side of the motorcycles. Rest the bottom edge of the protector
on the honeycomb stack. Align the cutouts with the handles.
7 Repeat steps 4, 5, 6, and set a second protector on the left side of the motorcycle (Not
Shown). Make the cutout 30 inches from the front edge of the honeycomb protector.
8 Tie the protectors in place with lengths of type III nylon cord. Use tape on the protectors to
keep the type III nylon cord from cutting into the protectors.
9 Lay a 24- by 84-inch piece of honeycomb on top of the load as the top protector.
