Saddlebags
Saddlebags are included with some Victory models. Use the following guidelines when operating a
motorcycle with saddlebags installed.
S
Never ride a motorcycle with saddlebags above 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 can
make the motorcycle unstable due to the lifting or buffeting effects of wind and can cause you to lose
control of the motorcycle.
S
Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags.
S
Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of the saddlebags.
Lockable hard saddlebags = 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) each
S
Do not exceed the motorcycle’s gross vehicle weight rating. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce
stability and handling and could cause you to lose control of the motorcycle.
