Title: Radiator protector
Post by: John5977 on November 22, 2016, 07:43:52 PM
I've purchased a Beowulf radiator protector. I'm having difficult fitting it and especially locating the bolts through the holes into pre welded thread. Any ideas please.

Check you have the one with a slight curve on there was someone on her supplied with a straight one and they had problems do a search .
It Hooks on the top and bolts on the bottom left looking at it and shares the rad fitting screw  :yes:

The beowulf rad guard that i bought/fitted needed a small amount of manipulation to ensure it had the correct curvature  :yes: 

I would have to say its one of tge easuest accessories to fit

Hook the two lugs over the top of the Radiator and secure at the bottom  :clap:

I've fitted beowulf rad guards to my zzr and gtr never had any fitting problems :no: but both the zzr and gtr are very similar.. before you start bending it here and there call beowulf and make sure they have sent you a GTR and not the zzr guard.

Just to say I have a rad guard on my GTR and it was the most difficult pain in the ass thing to fit - the top zip locks you need hands the size a marmoset monKey to fit - complete nightmare hated doing it
