Harley Davidson Motor Company cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning
every accessory or combination of accessories sold. Therefore, the rider must be responsible for
safe operation of the motorcycle when installing accessories or carrying additional weight.
See the Accessories and Cargo section in your owner's
manual. Improper cargo loading or accessory installation
can cause component failure and adversely affect stability,
handling and performance, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00021b)
Do not exceed the motorcycle's Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
Exceeding these weight ratings can lead to component
failure and adversely affect stability, handling and
performance, which could result in death or serious injury.
(00016f)
GVWR is the sum of the weight of the motorcycle, accessories, and the maximum weight of
the rider, passenger and cargo that can be safely carried.
GAWR is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely carried on each axle.
The GVWR and GAWR are shown on the information label which is located on the frame
downtube in some destinations.
Refer to weight table(s). See Specifications.
Do not pull a trailer with a motorcycle. Pulling a trailer can
cause tire overload, damage and failure, reduced braking
performance, and adversely affect stability and handling,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00018c)
Accessories and Cargo Guidelines
The following guidelines should be used when equipping a motorcycle, carrying passengers
and/or cargo.
Travel at speeds appropriate for road and conditions and
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. Any two wheeled vehicle may be
subject to upsetting forces such as wind blasts from passing trucks, holes in the pavement,
rough road surfaces, rider control error, and so on. These forces may influence the handling
characteristics of your motorcycle. If you experience these conditions, 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.
