The Gaucho has various straps to allow you to attach it to the frame both around the tank/steering head area and the lower part of the frame to prevent it from flapping. There is also a security wire that allows the Gaucho to be locked to the frame to prevent theft.
In the first picture above (Tims red 1200) you can see how the gaucho works with the inflatable chambers holding it up in front of the rider. There is also a pocket on the inside of the gaucho for storing essential items needed when traveling.

The Muffs attach simply by sliding them over your handguards and doing-up the Velcro. This sometimes takes a little fiddling to get right / how you want it.
Finaly you use either the provided elastic bungee or the zip-ties to fix them to your bars. Once you have put them on and off a couple of times they'll loosen up and become much easier to use.
