3. Vehicle handling and stability can be
adversely affected by loose cargo.
Recheck cargo security and accessory
mounts frequently.

as a sleeping bag or tent) to the
handlebars, fork, or fender. Unstable

Accessories
Genuine Honda accessories have been
specifically designed for and tested on this
motorcycle. Because the factory cannot test
all other accessories, you are personally
responsible for proper selection, installation,
and use of non-Honda accessories. Always
follow the guidelines under Loading, and
these:
1. Carefully inspect the accessory to make
sure it does not obscure any lights,
reduce ground clearance and banking
angle, or limit suspension travel, steering
travel or control operation.
2.Large fork-mounted fairings or
windshields, or poorly designed or
improperly mounted fairings can produce
aerodynamic forces that cause unstable
handling. Do not install fairings that
decrease cooling air flow to the engine.
