Product Modifications
Modifying the motorcycle by removing any equipment or adding equipment not approved by Victory may
void your warranty. Such modifications may also make the motorcycle unsafe to ride and could severely
injure you or others or damage the motorcycle. Some modifications may be illegal in some states. If in doubt,
contact your authorized Victory Dealer.
Selecting and Installing Accessories
Because Victory cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every accessory or combination
of accessories sold, you are responsible for determining that your motorcycle can be safely operated with
accessories you install or additional weight you carry. Use the following guidelines when choosing and
mounting accessories:
S Do not install accessories that impair the stability, handling, or operation of the motorcycle. Before
installing an accessory, be sure that it does not:
-- Reduce ground clearance when the motorcycle is either leaned or in a vertical position.
-- Limit suspension or steering travel or your ability to operate controls.
-- Displace you from your normal riding position.
-- Obscure lights or reflectors.
S Bulky or large accessories can make the motorcycle unstable due to the lifting or buffeting effects of wind
and can cause you to lose control of the motorcycle.
