Buying this trim — what to check

  • Confirm the saddlebags, screen and backrest are present and undamaged — replacing the factory touring kit is expensive.
  • Check belt-guard and bag clearance if any aftermarket exhaust is fitted.
  • The heaviest trim — be honest about low-speed and parking confidence before buying.
