existing electrical system.Severe overloads may
damage the wiring harness or create a dangerous
situation due to the loss of electrical power during
the operation of the motorcycle.
When carrying a load on the motorcycle,
mount it as low as possible to the motorcycle.An
improperly mounted load can create a high center
of gravity which is very dangerous and make
the motorcycle difficult to handle.The size of a
load can affect the aero-dynamics and the
handling of the motorcycle.Balance the load
between the left and right side of the motorcycle
and fasten it firmly.
