Saddlebags SAFETY When operating a motorcycle with original equipment or accessory saddlebags: S Never ride at speeds exceeding 80 mph (120 km/h). 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. S Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags. S Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of the saddlebags. Hard bags (KINGPIN) or accessory leather saddlebags are 7 lbs. (3.2 kg) each. S Do not exceed the motorcycle's gross vehicle weight rating. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and handling and cause loss of control. Transporting the Motorcycle If you must transport the motorcycle: S Use a truck or trailer. Do not tow the motorcycle with another vehicle, as towing will impair the motorcycle's steering and handling, which can cause loss of control. S Position and restrain the motorcycle so it remains upright on the truck or trailer, as gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank if the motorcycle leans to one side. Gasoline is a fire hazard and it can also damage the motorcycle's finish. S Place the transmission in first or second gear. S Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars. Place tie-downs around the fork tubes above the lower triple clamp. Secure the rear of the motorcycle with tiedowns around the swingarm or rear wheel, being careful to avoid the brake line, exhaust, and drive belt. 17
