Accessories & Modifications
Load Limits,
Modifying your motorcycle or using non-Honda accessories can make your
motorcycle unsafe. Before you consider making any modifications or adding an
accessory, be sure to read the following information.
Carefully consider the weight of any accessories and any cargo stored in
those accessories to avoid exceeding the maximum weight limits.
For more information, see
page
.
Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your motorcycle. This motorcycle was not
designed for these attachments, and their use can seriously impair your
motorcycle’s handling.
Do not add any electrical equipment that will exceed the motorcycle’s
electrical system capacity (page
). A blown fuse can cause a loss of lights
or engine power (page
).
Make sure the accessory does not obscure any lights, reduce ground clearance
and lean angle, limit suspension travel or steering travel, alter your riding
position, or interfere with operating any controls.
We strongly recommend that you use only Honda Genuine Accessories that
have been specifically designed and tested for your motorcycle. Because Honda
cannot test all other accessories, you must be personally responsible for proper
selection, installation, and use of non-Honda accessories.
Check with your Honda dealer for assistance and always follow these
guidelines:
Modifying the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) or any other part of
your motorcycle’s safety systems could make the systems ineffective
(page
).
