and trunks aid in making a passenger more secure on the vehicle. Laws in some jurisdictions require grab straps
or other security devices when a passenger is transported. Do not transport a passenger if they are not secure. Do
not disable grab straps or other safety features provided on your motorcycle and obey all traffic laws while riding.
Saddlemen offers a complimentary grab strap for this seat, part no. 15327. Call (310) 638-1222 for more informa-
tion. Always ride responsibly and take precautions to be sure your passenger is secure and comfortable at all times.
