for light items, and overloading can
affect handling due to changes in
weight distribution and aerodynamic
forces.
Accessories

baggage that impairs the perfor-
mance of the motorcycle.

or front fork will increase the mass
of the steering assembly and can
result in an unsafe riding condition.
3. Fairings,
windshields,
backrests,
and other large items have the ca-
pability of adversely affecting stabil-
ity and handling of the motorcycle,

also due to the aerodynamic force
acting on these surfaces while the
motorcycle is in operation.
Poorly
