Heritage Luggage Guidelines
Motor Cycle Industry Association Ltd.
A motorcycle is a relatively ‘hostile environment’ for luggage and the following general guidelines are provided
to ensure that the luggage performs as the manufacturer intended. As with all types of luggage, users should
always pay particular attention to the manufacturer’s own safety, fitment and usage instructions included with
this product.
LOADING Always ensure that luggage is loaded as evenly as possible and within the stated
maximum capacity and weight limits. Heavy objects should be loaded at the bottom
and particular care should be taken with sharp objects to avoid damaging the luggage.
Dependent on the type and specification of the luggage, the contents may have to be
protected against the elements (e.g. water, dirt, etc.) by wrapping in plastic bags for
example.
FITMENT
All adjacent surfaces of the motorcycle should be clean and smooth to avoid possible
abrasion. Where the possibility of abrasion exists, the necessary precautions should
be taken - see page 25. The luggage should be securely attached to the motorcycle
and should be mounted clear of moving parts and sources of heat such as engine
and exhaust system(s). It is recommended that riders check the security/mounting of
luggage at regular intervals throughout their journey.
RAINCOVERS
Where rain covers are fitted, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that they are
fitted correctly and safely (see fitment advice above) i.e ensure that they are fitted
snugly to the luggage and are not left baggy and able to fill with air when on the move.
USAGE As the fitment of luggage may affect the stability or operating characteristics of the
motorcycle, riders should always heed the stated recommended maximum speeds for
both solo and ‘two-up’ use. Care should also be taken with luggage that uses magnetic
mountings as these may affect items containing magnetic data such as credit cards,
film, etc. This luggage has been designed for universal fitment on motorcycles, for
road use only.
PRODUCT To ensure longevity of the luggage, the manufacturer’s own cleaning and storage
instructions should always be observed.
IMPORTANT The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage caused to the vehicle,
the luggage or its contents arising out of its misuse or any failure to fit and use it
in accordance with the above guidelines and the manufacturer’s special instructions.
