Safety
Saddlebags
WARNING! Operating this vehicle without saddlebags could result in severe injury or death. Never
operate this vehicle if the saddlebags are not in place and properly secured.
Whenever operating a motorcycle with saddlebags:
• Never ride at excessive speeds. Depending on load and weather conditions, the maximum
safe operating speed may be less. Saddlebags, combined with the lifting or buffeting
effects of wind, can make the motorcycle unstable and cause loss of control.
• Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags.
• Do not exceed the individual weight limit of each
attached inside for reference.
• NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR) or the GROSS
AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), regardless of whether or not the saddlebags are
loaded to capacity. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and handling and
cause loss of control.
