Damn Bro that’s a lot… I thought it would be a less involved process… Had I a nice garage with all the tools I’d probably do it but I ain’t got that. I sense frustration setting in while attempting this. Think I’ll just pay someone.

It’s a pain on these. Nothing wrong with paying a professional.

I had a similar issue with the general fit and the holes not lining up. It seems to be because the guard is not curved enough. If you bend it in a little more, the guard fits more flush with the radiator and the pins at the top where you had to drill out now fit perfect without drilling.

Of course I only have a sample size of one, so I can’t speak to your specific experience. If anything the curve on mine is too severe and that explains the poor fitment down at the bottom. At the top, the center most portion is already right up against the radiator. It also doesn’t explain why the pin on the one side fit perfectly but on the other was way off despite being centered. Glad you were able to solve your fitment issue with yours however.

Have you noticed any increase in running temp after the install?

I have not noticed a difference. However, it doesn’t take a scientist to figure out it certainly obstructs flow to the radiator. Aprilia usually doesn’t have heat issues while moving, it’s when they stop they really start getting hot. Cheers man.

My V2 was pretty easy so hopefully the V4 is the same. The Aprilia, had to take the whole front end apart lol. What guards did you get?
