accessory does not reduce ground
clearance, decrease banking angle, or
interfere with suspension, steering, and
control operation

subject to aerodynamic forces which
can adverscly affect the handling.
An impropcrly designed or mounted
fairing or windshield can create an
aerodynamic lift on the front of the
machine. Handlebar or fork mOUllted
fairings are not recommended because
of their effect on handling.
