Therefore, never make any modifications such as drilling or welding to the frame as it weakens the frame significantly.

Bolt-on-accessories that do not modify the frame in any way may be installed, provided that the loading limit is not exceeded. For loading limit, refer to the accessory use and motorcycle loading section of the owner's manual.
