SAFETY

Modifications

Modifying the motorcycle by removing any equipment or by adding equipment not approved by VICTORY may

void your warranty. Such modifications may make the motorcycle unsafe to ride and could result in severe injury to

operator or passengers, as well as damage to the motorcycle. Some modifications may also be illegal in some states.

If in doubt, contact your authorized VICTORY Dealer.

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 neutral.

S

Do not restrain the motorcycle using the handlebars. Loosen the front

turn signal mounts and slide them up to make room for the tiedown

strap. Place tie-downs around the fork tubes above the lower triple

clamp. Secure the rear of the motorcycle with tiedowns around both

sides of the the swingarm, being careful to avoid the brake line, ex-

haust, and drive belt. Re-position the turn signals after transportation.

Loosen screw,

slide turn signal up
