• Do not install accessories that impair operator visibility or the
stability, handling or operation of the motorcycle. Before
installing an accessory, be sure that it does not:
– reduce ground clearance when the motorcycle is either
leaned or in a vertical position;
– limit suspension or steering travel or your ability to operate
controls;
– displace you from your normal riding position;
– obscure lights or reflectors.
• Bulky, heavy or large accessories can cause instability (due to
the lifting or buffeting effects of wind) and loss of control.
• Do not install electrical accessories that exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical system. Never install higher wattage
light bulbs than those supplied as original equipment. An
electrical failure could result and cause hazardous loss of engine
power or lights, or damage to the electrical system.
• Use only genuine INDIAN MOTORCYCLE accessories designed
for your model.
• Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your
motorcycle.
• Adjust ride height as needed. See page 110.
