WARNING
Keep cargo weight concentrated close to the motorcycle
and as low as possible to minimize the change in the
motorcycle’s center of gravity. Distribute weight evenly
on both sides of the vehicle and do not load bulky items
too far behind the rider or add weight to the handlebars
or front forks. Do not load saddlebag beyond maximum
weight capacity. See label inside saddlebag for weight
capacity limit. Improper loading can adversely affect
handling which could result in death or serious injury.

lock and a removable saddlebag liner.

responding tab (2) on saddlebag body hinge.
