Accessory Selection and Installation

Because VICTORY cannot test and make specific recommendations concerning every

accessory or combination of accessories sold, the operator is responsible for determining

that the motorcycle can be safely operated with any accessories or additional weight. Use

the following guidelines when choosing and installing accessories:
• 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.

• Bulky or large accessories can cause instability (due to the lifting or buffeting effects of

wind) and loss of control.

• Do not install electrical accessories that exceed the capacity of the motorcycle’s

electrical system. Never install higher wattage light bulbs than those supplied as original

equipment. An electrical failure could result and cause hazardous loss of engine power

or lights, or damage to the electrical system. See page 198 for more information.

• Use only genuine VICTORY accessories designed for your model.
