Question S76 Vne gear down

The RFM of the S76 limit the speed off the A/C with gear down at 130 KTS. The operator for who I work restricted this speed at 120 KTS, the reason is for the float bags under the gear door. I wonder if it is a valid reason, cause I guess Sikorsky did the test with those bag on and that why the don't mention anything about it in the RFM.

Cheers
FH
