The guards arrived next day, well packed and protected. Fittings and fixings for each guard individually packed. The appearance and finish appears high quality as does the design and manufacture. I was reluctant to buy a quality bike and hang poor quality or lousy looking accessories on it.
I had reviewed and printed the fitting instructions. These were unclear in places, the clarity of the pictures not matching the quality of the product.
The oil cooler guard clipped neatly into place but the plastic ties are a bit nasty. Time will tell how these last with the heat. I regret not replacing them with stainless steel ties, readily available.
The two holes, in the radiator upper brackets needed opening out, as per others experiences. This is easy enough as the guards are made from a soft aluminium. Make sure you deburr afterwards.
All the screws and brackets fitted without modification, if a little fiddly. The foam backers, i guess there to stop the guards rattling, dropped off a couple of times, before fitting, frustratingly just as I was easing the radiator guard into position.
In conclusion, an essential investment, both radiator and oil cooler fins had minor damage after 1700 miles. The Evotech guards take time and patience to fit, about 3 hours start to finish but easier that fitting a replacement radiator or oil cooler.
