Accessories
We strongly recommend that you use only
genuine Honda accessories that have been
specifically designed and tested for your
motorcycle. Because Honda cannot test all
other accessories, you must be personally
responsible for proper selection, installation
and use of non-Honda accessories. Check
with your dealer for assistance and always
follow these guidelines:
• Make sure the accessory does not
obscure
any
lights,
clearance
and
suspension travel or steering travel, alter
your riding position or interfere with
operating any controls.
• Be sure electrical equipment does not
exceed the motorcycle's electrical system
capacity (page 149). A blown fuse can
cause a loss of lights or engine power.
