You just undo the 2 silver side plates (4 allen bolts) then place guard over top of the rad & insert bolts back in without the plates which are then surplus.
see,there's the problem im having-it appears you have the same year fazer as me,but my rad gaurd is black,not silver (ok,its more silver'ish now after scratching the fcuk out of it putting the other one over it!! :lol ) unless different colour bikes have different colour rad's?
it fits quite nicely over the original gaurd,but the bolt hole's dont line up at all
and red98,sadly my PC skills are as competant as my spannering work so there'll be no piccie's from me im afraid,the 2 ive put up of my bike are ones that i nicked off the site where i found my bike advertised for sale (so i can do wee bit of PC work i guess!). but thanks for starting this thread for me mate :thumbup

Notice the silver plate on the side of it......do you have these plates???????
Also zoom in on the radiator front...it is not a guard...it is the actual radiator itself, the woven metal radiating material straight to the atmosphere......is this like your radiator???????

Here's what it SHOULD look like:
Rad guard |
Post by: jonesthesteam on 11 November 2013, 01:15:17 pm
In the end I had to file out the holes on the guard to make them wider and then it just about fitted, but I was never really happy with it as it bowed out slightly, it seemed the bend in each side of the guard was not quite in the right place.
Many years ago I had a Beowulf guard fitted to a 2000 600 box eye and it fitted beautifully with no issues, I don't know whether it is the guard at fault or a change in the radiator fitted to different years, I had my suspicions it was the guard.
Just my tuppence worth

He should just take the end plates off, then slide it on.

I got it on in the end with a little extra brute force but whoever takes it off will probably get a slap round the chops by it.
