Safety Carrying Cargo Saddlebags When operating a motorcycle equipped with saddlebags: • Never ride at speeds exceeding 80 MPH (120 km/h). Depending on load and weather conditions, the maximum safe operating speed may be less. Saddlebags, combined with the lifting or buffeting effects of wind, can cause instability. • Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags. • Do not exceed the maximum cargo capacity of the saddlebags. • Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Parking the Motorcycle When leaving the motorcycle unattended, turn the engine off and remove the ignition key. Park the motorcycle where people are not likely to touch the hot engine or exhaust system or place combustible materials near these hot areas. Do not park near a flammable source such as a kerosene heater or an open flame, where hot components could ignite combustible materials. Park the motorcycle on a firm, level surface. Sloped or soft surfaces may not support the motorcycle. See page 44. 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 not be legal in your area of operation. If in doubt, contact your authorized VICTORY dealer. 11
