passenger. When selecting your accessories, keep in
mind the weight of the rider as well as the weight of the
accessories. The additional weight of the accessories
may not only create an unsafe riding condition but may
also affect rider stability.

•
Install accessories which may affect aerodynamics,
such as a fairings, windshields, backrests, saddlebags
and travel trunks, as low as possible, as close to the
motorcycle and as near to the center of gravity as is
feasible. Check that the mounting brackets and other
attachment hardware are rigidly mounted.
•
Check for proper ground clearance and bank angle.
Inspect that the accessory does not interfere with the
operation of the suspension, steering or other control
operations.
•
Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork
area can create serious stability problems. The extra
weight will cause the motorcycle to be less responsive
to your steering control. The weight may also cause
oscillations in the front end and lead to instability
problems. Accessories added to the handle-bars or
front fork should be as light as possible and kept to a
minimum.
•
Certain accessories displace the rider from his or her
normal riding position.
This limits the freedom of
movement of the rider and may limit his or her ability
to control the motorcycle.
•
Additional electric accessories may overload the
existing electrical system.
Severe overloads may
damage the wiring harness or create a dangerous
situation due to sudden loss of electrical power during
the operation of the motorcycle.
•
The motorcycle may be affected by a lifting condition
or by instability in cross winds or when being
overtaken or overtaking large vehicles.
Improperly
mounted or poorly designed accessories can result in
an unsafe riding condition or lead to an accident.
