RIGHTS RESERVED
Zipper’s reserves the right to make changes in design, materials and specifications on products and kits without incurring liability or obligation with respect to similar products previously manufactured or sold.  Our R&D program never stops; improvements may be made at any time.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Zipper’s Cycle, Inc has always been a leader in the manufacture and sale of the highest quality performance parts for Harley-Davidson® based motorcycles. We continually strive to provide services and products in support of racing and high performance, which reflect our reputation and ongoing efforts at improving the sport of motorcycling.

Zipper’s Cycle, Inc. warrants all parts and accessories produced for and by Zipper’s Performance to be free from defects in design and workmanship.  Should the parts be found to be, or become, defective during any stated warranty period, Zipper’s will, at its option upon physical inspection, repair or replace any, or all, defective parts.  Zipper’s will maintain no obligation under the terms of this warranty in the event the parts become defective as a result of improper assembly, installation, break-in, maintenance or use, or any other misuse or mistreatment of the parts including, without limitation, operation of the parts with fuels, oils or lubricants not conforming to specifications published by Zipper’s or continued operation of the parts after a defect or malfunction occurs, is identified or suspected.

Zipper’s will have no obligation under this warranty for parts defective due to alteration including, but not limited to, chroming, polishing, powder coating, painting, removing and modifying components, shot peening, bead blasting, modification, repair or unauthorized service, even when such services or modifications may be performed by Zipper’s at the request of the end user.

All items not manufactured by Zipper’s Cycle, Inc. are warranted to be free from defects under the terms outlined by the specific manufacturer.  Any parts determined to be defective will be repaired or replaced, at the option of the manufacturer, in a prompt and just manner.

Parts identified or intended as racing components carry no warranty, regardless of installation.

There is absolutely no warranty on the following:

     •  Any parts used in a racing application

     •  Any part that has been physically altered, improperly installed or maintained

     •  Any product used in improper applications, abused or not used in conjunction with proper
related parts

All items sold for installation by the end user, are considered by law to be customer assembled items and carry no liability to the distributor or maker.

This warranty does not cover any consequential, incidental, or special damages arising out of the use of, or inability to use, parts, components or vehicle to which the parts or components are installed.  Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER
Motorcycles can be dangerous.  The products on this website are intended primarily for racing or high performance use by experienced and skilled riders, which imply that these products will be pushed to severe and unusual limits.  Zipper’s has no control over the installation and usage of these items and in no way can Zipper’s Cycle, Inc. assume any liability or responsibility for damage or injury of any type resulting from their use.

Zipper’s Cycle, Inc. shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential damages whatsoever.

MACHINE SHOP SERVICES
Prices listed are for Labor Only and assume components to be modified are in working, serviceable condition.  Previously modified components may require additional labor at additional cost, or in some cases may not qualify for a Zipper’s-engineered service or kit.  If there is any question concerning your parts and this policy please call before shipping your parts.  Prices listed do not include return shipping charges.

To protect the integrity of the work we perform and the price structure of our kits, we cannot use parts that we do not, or did not, supply in any machine shop job we perform.  Unless you have Zipper’s products or parts that were previously purchased from Zipper’s, do not send parts with your job to Zipper’s.

Most components require some important cleaning and/or preparation steps before work can be performed.  Because improper cleaning methods can actually do more harm than good, we suggest you allow us to properly prepare your parts for modification.  Extreme care is taken during our preparation process to preserve component finishes.  Reasonable additional charges do apply for these services.  Engine and transmission components should be washed free of oil and wrapped in heavy newspaper before being put in protective cartons.  A standard charge is billed to each work order to cover shop costs for chemical disposal and other materials used during the processing of a job.

HOW TO ORDER AND SHIP FOR MACHINE SHOP SERVICES
Sometimes we receive boxes from our customers that contain parts and major components without any note of instruction on what is asked of us, sometimes without even a return address or a phone number!  Unfortunately, we have to just sit on the parts until somebody starts wondering why it’s taking so long for us to get back with them.  So, before you ship something to us for Machine Shop Services, please read the following instructions.

1. Download the “Zipper’s Job Order Sheet” from our site, or request a PDF from us.  Be sure to fill it out entirely, or enclose a note with the following:

1. Year, make, model, engine size, mileage and current modifications, if any.  It gives us somewhere to start if we have questions.

2. Explain the nature of the work you want performed.

3. Include a cell phone number, daytime and evening phone numbers with fax or e-mail if available.

 If we have questions or need more information, or just want to let you know we’re ready to ship your parts back, these numbers come in really handy.

Package parts carefully.  Items such as heads and cylinders should be first washed clean of oil and individually wrapped in heavy newspaper (a whole section per part works well), then placed in individual boxes or at the very least separated by strips of heavy cardboard and more newspaper padding. Remember your box is going to be thrown around during shipping a lot and could be damaged beyond use if not packaged properly.  Heavy cardboard boxes and cardboard barriers between the parts to protect them are essential (UPS requires at least 2” of padding around packaged components).  Neither the Freight Company nor Zipper’s Performance can take responsibility for poorly packaged parts.  Don’t use bubble wrap on top end parts!  A top end wrapped in bubble wrap will get to us sounding like a big, heavy baby rattle, with all the bubbles popped long before the boxes reach us.  At any rate, always insure your parts for replacement value, but remember, even if your parts are insured, you may not be reimbursed for damages if they are not properly packaged.

Allow for shipping and receiving time.  We receive calls checking the progress of jobs we have not even received yet.  Ask your shipper how long it will take to get your parts to Maryland.  We strive for fast service and quick turn-around, however, in season our workload, like everyone else’s, gets heavy.  Call for current shop time; please be aware that this can change with our daily influx of work.  If you’re in a jam and just can’t wait, consider an outright purchase or exchange (available on many services we offer).  We want to make sure you get quality work on your job, in a reasonable time, so please plan ahead.  Call checking progress may take up to 24 hours to return.  We’ll do our best to give you great service.
