ACCESSORY INSTALLATION GUIDELINE
• Install aerodynamic-affecting accesso-
ries, such as a fairing, windshield, back-
rests, saddlebags, and travel trunks, as
low as possible, as close the motorcycle
and as near the center of gravity as is
feasible. Check that the mounting brack-
ets and other attachment hardware are
rigidly mounted.
• Inspect for proper ground clearance and
bank angle. Inspect that the accessory
does not interfere with the operation of
the suspension, steering or other control
operations.
• Accessories fitted to the handlebars or
the front fork area can create serious
stability problems. This extra weight will
cause the motorcycle to be less respon-
sive to your steering control. The weight
may also cause oscillations in the front
end and lead to instability problems.
Accessories added to the handlebars or
front fork of the motorcycle should be as
light as possible and kept to a minimum.
• Select an accessory which does not limit
the freedom of rider movement.
• Select an electric accessory which does
not exceed motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem capacity. Severe overloads may
damage the wiring harness or create
hazardous situations.
• Do not pull a trailer or sidecar. This
motorcycle is not designed to pull a
trailer or sidecar.
