WARNING! Engine guards are in no way intended to provide bodily
protection for the rider and/or passenger. The motorcycle operator assumes
all responsibility for any effect this product may have on motorcycle handling.
Engine guards are for cosmetic use only.
No warranties or guaranties regarding personal safety are expressed or implied.
Revision: 1.3 - 07/27/2010
INCLUDED IN THE KIT:
(4) M10-1.25 x 70mm Hex Head Bolt
(4) M10 Flat Washer
(1) M6 Flat Washer

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Protect rear portion of front fender with a towel or other thick, soft cloth.
2. Remove rear master cylinder reservoir from the frame and move out of the way during installation of the
engine guard.
3. Remove the four bolts, two on each side, that are the front engine mount bolts. These will be your new engine
guard mounting points.
4. Install engine guard, with a spacer between guard and the frame, using the supplied M10 bolts and washers.
5. Make sure to route clutch cable to the outside of engine guard.
6. Reinstall master cylinder reservoir and cover to its original location. Use supplied M6 washer between
chrome cover and reservoir mount so cover does not rub new engine guard.
7. Tighten all mounting bolts.
8. CAUTION!!! You must re-tighten all four of the engine guard mounting bolts after 100 miles of riding
Care & Cleaning: Engine guards take the full brunt of the worst of what the weather in your area has to offer,
making it critical that proper and complete cleaning take place on a weekly basis, or corrosion will occur which
is not covered by warranty! Proper cleaning procedure would be to use a product like Simple Green, LOC,
Salt-Away or similar. Mix a strong batch and apply it liberally with a soft towel or soft nylon brush to the entire
surface of the engine guard. Be sure to get the solution on all sides of the mounting brackets. Corrosives are an
invisible killer of chrome and you need to perform this procedure often.
Attachments to Engine Guard: When attaching items like highway pegs to your engine guard you should be
aware that clamps can break the chrome surface, and this will be an area where corrosion will more easily
occur. Baron recommends placing a layer of electrician or duct tape around the bar prior to installing and
tightening highway peg clamps
Our install guides provide a basic outline on the proper installation of our products. Further tuning and/or
