never travel faster than posted speed limit. Excessive
speed can cause loss of vehicle control, which could
result in death or serious injury. (00008a)
Do not exceed the legal speed limit or drive too fast for existing conditions. Always reduce
speed when poor driving conditions exist. High speed increases the influence of any other
condition affecting stability and increases the possibility of loss of control.
Pay strict attention to road surfaces and wind conditions and keep both hands on the
handlebar grips at all times when riding the motorcycle. The vehicle may be subject to
upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement, rough road
surfaces and rider control error. These forces may influence the handling characteristics of
your motorcycle. If this happens, reduce speed and guide the motorcycle with a relaxed grip
to a controlled condition. Do not brake abruptly or force the handlebar. This may aggravate
an unstable condition.
Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle and as low as possible. This
minimizes the change in the motorcycle's center of gravity.
Do not load bulky items too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars or front
forks.
Do not exceed maximum specified load in Tour Pak or trunk.
Luggage racks are designed for lightweight items. Do not overload racks.
Make sure cargo is secure and will not shift while riding and recheck the cargo periodically.
Accessories that change the operator's riding position may increase reaction time and affect
handling of the motorcycle.
Additional electrical equipment may overload the motorcycle's electrical system possibly
resulting in electrical system and/or component failure.
Large surfaces such as fairings, windshields, backrests and luggage racks can have an
adverse affect on stability and handling.
Only properly installed Genuine Harley Davidson accessories designed specifically for your
motorcycle model should be used.
Pay particular attention to the weights of accessories, cargo, riding gear, passenger and
rider and how the sum total of all these weights affect the loading capacity of your
motorcycle.
Harley Davidson parts and accessories are designed for
Harley Davidson motorcycles. Using non Harley Davidson
parts or accessories can adversely affect performance,
stability or handling, which could result in death or serious
injury. (00001b)
