Per instructions eye protection and fingerless gloves are required. They can be purchased through your local H-D dealer or through the official H-D website.

Harley Tank Badges
I had a set of Harley Tank Badges in the shed so I mounted them on the side of my murry lawn tractor. It voided the warranty on my tractor! I should have read the Harley instructions.
Heres the funny part, when my wife saw the tank badges on the tractor she said O' my God, and walked back in the house.

Hey, they probably do this because of the stupidity of people these days. And the possible stupidit of people serving on juries.
Kind of like "Caution! Product May Be Hot" on a McDonald's cup of coffee. Well, isn't coffee supposed to be hot? But, no, we had some old lady spill some on herself a few years back, get burned, sued and got a boatload of money from McDonald's.
Another example:
My wife used to work in Royal Oak(charcoal) corporate offices. Royal Oak also markets starter fluid under the Gulf name(Believe that's name. Haven't bought any in years).
Well, Royal Oak was sued by a man who:
1. Started his grill up and had it going.
2. Wasn't happy with the fire and wanted it hotter(see where this is heading?)
3. Grabbed his starter fluid and squirted it on the flames. Now it specifically states on the package - DO NOT DO THIS!!
4. Got sever burns on his arms and face.
5. Went to court, admitted he read the instructions, understood the instructions and squirted the fluid on anyway.
6. Jury awarded him a bunch of money for pain & suffering. In other words, paid this man for being a complete and utter moron.

I'm new to HDs, and I've been looking into buying one, but I never understood the whole "Harley" thing. Key chains, wallets, cleaning products, apparel, etc.. It all seems way over the top. When I think "Harley Davidson" the first thing that comes to mind is freedom, the open road, and rebelling against conformity. All these products make it seem like the opposite. I dunno....Just my humble opinion...awaiting the onslaught.....
