Received the RoadStyler Front Engine Guard v2 (pics)

Ok received today the protection guard v2 from RoadStyler.
Before installing it, I thought it could be useful to share some pics.

A small bag with two M10x70 bots, another M10x40 bolt ans metal spacers was included.
Other pics (when mounted) will come later.

Interested in the install. I like that its all 1 piece. Most like mine are in 2.

Like to see a pic of it on the bike?

Not op, but here they are on my B. Super solid piece. Nice heft. And yeah, the one piece design seems more rigid than a two piece.

Thanks. Debating the bars for my Classic presently?

Install pretty straight forward. Had to remove the steering damper on the B to get room for the top bolt, but otherwise easy. 15 min job.

Could help to have a second set of hands to hold it up while you bolt it on, tho.

Are you removing the steering damper temporarily, in order to fit the bar during the installation process, or does the protection bar require the steering damper to be removed permanently?

I installed the BMW bar and had to unbolt the steering damper in order to get access to the top bolt and then put back in place.

Just need to remove the bolt on the frame side, loosen the fork side, and move the damper out of the way. Goes back where it was once the bar is on.

Noob question: was it tricky to remove the damper then put it back?
I mean... to put it back in place, is it difficult/tricky or requires high mechanic skills ?

No very easy, I only removed the front bolt connected to the bottom of the triple tree and pushed it to the side. So that is was not blocking the access to the hole you need to screw the top bolt to.
