Accessory installation guidelines
• Install aerodynamic-affecting acces-
sories, such as a fairing, windshield,
backrests, saddlebags, and travel
trunks, as low as possible, and as
close to the motorcycle and as near
the center of gravity as is feasible.
Check that the mounting brackets
and other attachment hardware are
rigidly mounted.
• Inspect for proper ground clearance
and bank angle. Inspect that the
accessory does not interfere with the
operation of the suspension, steer-
ing or other control operations.
• Accessories fitted to the handlebars
or the front fork area can create seri-
ous stability problems. This extra
weight will cause the motorcycle to
be less responsive to your steering
control. The weight may also cause
oscillations in the front end and lead
to instability problems. Accessories
added to the handlebars or front fork
of the machine should be as light as
possible and kept to a minimum.
• Do not pull a trailer or sidecar. This
motorcycle is not designed to pull a
trailer or sidecar.
• Some accessories may make it diffi-
cult to achieve the correct riding
position, or cause usability to deteri-
orate. Check that you can attain the
correct riding position.
• Select only electrical accessories
which do not exceed the motorcy-
