Fitting Ztechnik engine protection

Post by Sacowan »

Mounting Ztechnik engine protection to my 2020 1250rt.
On the clutch side, the radiator hose sits on the head of the bolt. Am I doing something wrong? Any way to prevent this?

I'd fit a Dome headed allen bolt so it's more rounded and flush.

Don't think so, just looks like the spacer is bringing the allen head bolt closer to the radiator hose.

An alternative to simbo's suggestion is a flanged button screw which doesn't need a washer.
