Big fairings and windshields installed on
the vehicle may produce aerodynamic
forces that affect the stability of the vehicle,
especially when riding at high speed.
Make sure that the equipment is well
fastened to the vehicle and not dangerous
during driving.
Do not install electrical devices and do not
modify those already existing to avoid
electrical overloads, because the vehicle
could suddenly stop or there could be a
dangerous current shortage in the horn
and in the lights.
