Safety
Use of Accessories
Because VICTORY cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every
accessory or combination of accessories sold, the operator is responsible for determining that
the motorcycle can be safely operated with any accessories or additional weight. Use the
following guidelines when choosing and installing accessories:
• Do not install accessories that impair the stability, handling or operation of the motorcycle
or operator visibility. 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 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 VICTORY accessories designed for your model.
