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, exhaust, and drive belt. Re-position the turn signals after transportation. Loosen screw, slide turn signal up 17
