Saddlebags & Trunk

Whenever operating a motorcycle with original equipment or accessory saddlebags:

• Never ride at speeds exceeding 80 mph (120 kph). 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.

• Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags.
• Do not exceed the individual weight limit of each saddlebag or the trunk. A weight capacity

label is attached inside for reference. See Loading Examples beginning on page 28. See

page 27 for GVWR information.

• NEVER EXCEED GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR), regardless of whether or not

the saddlebags and/or trunk are loaded to capacity. Exceeding the weight rating can

reduce stability and handling and cause loss of control.
