2023 KTM 300 XC installing a set of radiator guards from Bullet Proof Designs. This wraps up most of the protection I will be adding for a little while. more videos coming soon!
I just installed a set of these on my 23 te300. The bolts bottomed out before getting tight. I could still spin the washer with my finger under the head of the bolts. Are your's tightening up all the way?
You don't have to but I found that it's easier to remove the tank and to side shrouds all together. Plus I was installing some other parts that required to have the tank off.
