Load Limits & Guidelines; Loading - Honda Goldwing GL1800/A Owner's Manual

Your motorcycle has been designed to carry you and one passenger. When you
carry a passenger, you may feel some difference during acceleration and
braking. But so long as you keep your motorcycle well-maintained, with good
tires and brakes, you can safely carry loads within the given limits and
guidelines.
However, exceeding the weight limit or carrying an unbalanced load can
seriously impair your motorcycle's handling, braking, and stability. Non-Honda
accessories, improper modifications, and poor maintenance can also reduce your
safety margin.

Loading
