Thanks Guys !
I got impatient today and had to figure it out so I can pilot the 'Busa into the city Friday for a meeting. Basically, the Warp Speed oil cooler guard as delivered doesn't fit. I bought it from Steve at Rated R in WA and he has tried to help by contacting the manufacturer for instructions. The instructions were useless and incorrect.
Yes, you do need to remove and discard the original oil cooler mesh guard. Not sure why Suzuki bothered with this, as it is clearly not gunna save you from anything smaller than a few mm that jumps up from the road.
It then wasn't rocket science to figure out to remove the rubber edging between the mounting tabs on the new guard, cut 2 rows of mesh, and refit edging. This provides enuff clearance to refit the plastic moulding around the radiator and oil cooler.
In general I would describe the Warp Speed radiator and oil cooler guards as a piece of very agricultural kit. No engineering masterpiece here mates.
Notwithstanding my comments above, the ultimate result has been satisfactory and I am comfortable that anything short of a samuari sword will fail to penetrate my radiator or oil cooler.
Just ping me if anybody wants more detail or pictures.
