When packing your motorcycle, heavier items should be packed:

  1. At the back of the tank bags

  2. In the front of the tank bags

  3. On the sides of the tank bags

  4. At the bottom of the tank bags

The correct answer is: In the front of the tank bags

Heavier items should be packed in the front of the tank bags because it helps to distribute the weight evenly and maintain the motorcycle's center of gravity. Placing them at the back or on the sides of the tank bags can cause the bike to become unbalanced and affect handling. Putting them at the bottom can also lead to instability and potentially damage the tank bags. Therefore, packing heavier items in the front of the tank bags is the safest and most efficient option.
