Saddlebags & Trunk
Whenever operating a motorcycle with original equipment or accessory saddlebags:
• Never ride at speeds exceeding 80 mph (120 kph). Depending on load and weather
conditions, the maximum safe operating speed may be less than 80 mph (120 km/h).
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 saddlebag or the trunk. A weight capacity
label is attached inside for reference. See Loading Examples beginning on page 28. See
page 27 for GVWR information.
• NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR), regardless of whether or not
the saddlebags and/or trunk are loaded to capacity. Exceeding the weight rating can
reduce stability and handling and cause loss of control.
