Accessory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.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,etc.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.

Distributeweightevenlyonbothsidesofthevehicle.

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eachsaddlebag.

Luggageracksaredesignedforlightweightitems.Donotoverloadracks.

Be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.

Thefrontand/orrearguard(s)canprovidelimitedlegand

cosmeticvehicleprotectionunderuniquecircumstances.

(Falloverwhilestopped,veryslowspeedslide.)Itisnot

madeorintendedtoprovideprotectionfrombodilyinjury

inacollisionwithanothervehicleoranyotherobject.

(00022a)

Largesurfacessuchasfairings,windshields,backrests,andluggagerackscanadverselyaffect

handling.OnlygenuineHarleyDavidsonitemsdesignedspecificallyforthemotorcyclemodel

shouldbeusedwithproperinstallation.

Donotuseaftermarketpartsandcustommadefrontforks

whichcanadverselyaffectperformanceandhandling.

Removingoralteringfactoryinstalledpartscanadversely

affectperformanceandcouldresultindeathorserious

injury.(00001a)
