SAFETY
Saddlebags / Top Box
When operating a motorcycle with original equipment or accessory saddlebags:
S
Never ride at speeds exceeding 80 mph (129 km/h). Depending on load and weather conditions, the maximum
safe operating speed may be less than 80 mph (129 km/h). Saddlebags, combined with the lifting or buffeting
effects of wind, can make the motorcycle unstable and cause loss of control.
S
Distribute weight evenly in each of the saddlebags.
S
Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight limit of the saddlebags.
Accessory leather saddlebags, semi-hard saddlebags, or hard saddlebags = 7 lbs. (3.2 kg) each
Top Box weight capacity (Kingpin Tour) = 20 lbs. (9.0 kg)
S
Do not exceed the motorcycle’s gross vehicle weight rating. Exceeding the weight rating can reduce stability and
handling and cause loss of control.
