Kawasaki Vulcan VN800 Classic
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.
No warranties or guaranties regarding personal safety are expressed or
implied. Unlike the driver floorboards, which fold up if they contact the
ground while leaning excessively in a corner, these engine guards will not fold
up. In point of fact, these engine guards can, and under the proper
circumstances will, lift the motorcycle off the road causing potential loss of
control if the motorcycle is leaned too aggressively in a corner.

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.
