By Ordering, Purchasing, Attaching and Using Motorcycle Drop Guards to said motorcycle, Purchaser, Buyer, Seller and User agrees to, and will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller (“MDG Products”) each of its Affiliates, and each of its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors and agents (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liability, loss, loss of income, damage to persons or property, or damage, or damage to any portion of a motorcycle whether Installing, Training Related or During Any Operation With an MDG Product Installed or In Use, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and cost (collectively, a “Liability”) that the Seller Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties resulting from, or arising out of (a) personal injury or death of any person as a result of the use of any Motorcycle with MDG Products installed or attached.  Purchaser, User, Motorcycle Operator and/or Motorcycle Rider, furthermore agrees to, and will, use Motorcycle Drop Guards at their own risks, and agrees to understand that riding a motorcycle is a dangerous activity, and that anything can happen when a motorcycle is dropped even at slow speeds, based on rider experience and response to the motorcycle being dropped.  Purchaser, Buyer, Seller agrees to have read and understood all information related to the question and answer page on website provided by motorcycle drop guards.

Motorcycle Drop Guards are intended to assist in protecting the specific parts of a motorcycle they are specifically designed for and properly attached to, from minor scratches and gouges while a rider practices slow speed maneuvers (at Less than 1500 RPM’s) in a controlled environment while learning maneuvers such as u-turns in spaces of 18-20 feet under qualified instruction.  Using RPM's above 1500 is not recommended and is not needed to make slow controlled u-turns and other slow speed maneuvers in a parking lot.     

MDG Products recommends and advises to remove motorcycle drop guards and any other product such as highway pegs, whips, or any other accessory that could affect the lean angle, or operation of any motorcycle, prior to riding the motorcycle on the street.

WARNING:  

Though turns of 17 feet, and various street riding examples have been performed on video by trained motorcycle operators, please be advised Motorcycle Drop Guards are not recommended or intended for those types of turns and/or street riding skills.  The Lean Angle of any motorcycle could be affected and/or interfered by various factors such as road conditions, tire pressure, mechanical condition of a motorcycle, shocks, as well as the use of various accessories such as highway pegs, and other accessories including motorcycle drop guards, and could, and probably will interfere with turns of less than 18 feet, as well as leaning the motorcycle prior to the lean angle allowed by the motorcycle manufacturer.

Though many competitive riders use motorcycle drop guards in confined space leans and turns of less than 18 feet, it is highly recommended and strongly advised to remove the primary lean indicator, and all front and rear motorcycle drop guards prior to any type of street riding, or confined space maneuvering of less than 18 feet.  Motorcycle Drop Guards are not meant for riding conditions and skills involving leaning the bike in extreme curved and winding conditions, or roadways such as Tail of the Dragon or any winding or curved roads, as this type of maneuvering, could and probably will be interfered with by either lowering the motorcycle, positioning of highway pegs, or use of motorcycle drop guards in such leans.

Caution should be used when using motorcycle drop guards in conjunction with a lowered motorcycle. Motorcycle Drop Guards should be removed prior to riding any lowered motorcycle on the street.  

The primary guard is used for training in slow speed controlled maneuvers to assist riders in learning u-turns and slow speed maneuvers while training in advanced training classes under qualified instructors.  The primary lean indicator has been used as a very effective protection device for the primary cover but should be removed for street riding as it could possibly affect various leans executed out on the roadway based on rider skill and roadway conditions.

Please be advised the primary guard is meant to work with the front and rear motorcycle drop guards installed.   The primary guard is not meant or intended to work alone or with any other protective devices or means, other than the front and rear drop guards installed properly, and has never been used with any other protective device.  Purchaser and/or User agrees to accept all responsibility for any damage or injury related to using the primary guard on any said motorcycle. 

The primary guard will not work as intended on lowered bikes. Please do not install on any motorcycle that has been altered from manufactured / manufacturer height unless done at your own risks.

Dropping, Dragging and Crashing the motorcycle into the concrete at any speed or while in motion especially at higher than 1200 RPM’s, is strongly not advised as injury or damage could and probably will occur. 

Though not guaranteed or the intended purpose, Motorcycle Drop Guards may assist in protection to other parts of a motorcycle from receiving minor scratches and gouges such as exhaust pipes and floor board brackets, but there is no guarantee, as this is not the purpose or function of the motorcycle drop guards.  Please remember, anything can happen when a motorcycle is dropped based on operator reaction, operating surfaces, and mechanical condition of said motorcycle, and of course freak of nature.

Saddle bags, especially stretched saddle bags should be removed, prior to slow speed practice, as these types of saddle bags have the ability to strike the ground when a Harley Touring Model has been dropped on its side.  Though motorcycle drop guards may assist in reducing damage to these types of saddle bags, PLEASE BE ADVISED that is not their intended purpose.

Motorcycle Drop Guards are not meant, intended or expected to protect any rider, passenger, or any other person related to any motorcycling incident from any injury, and/or any property damage resulting from an accident, fall, or any type of motorcycle tip over, drop, or loss of control of by the motorcycle operator while operating any motorcycle, under any condition.
