Adding 7602 red radiator braces was one foe the first mods I did to my ''14 TE310R but at the same time I also added silicone hoses and converted to waterless coolant. So, in my case it simpler just to remove the raditors to give them a good cleaning a do some minor straightening of a few raditor fins that had been hit by debris.
The kit is very well engineered and easy to install. If memory serves I believe it would be possible to simply unbolt the radiators from the frame, slide the assembled guards in from behind the raditors and bolt everything back up without having to remove the hoses.
A few notes: You have the option of reusing the plastic OEM radiator louvers without modification, replacing them with the 7602's optional aluminum front guards only, or you can use both together. To do the later you must modify the OEM louvers slightly (explained in the instructions).
The 7602 raditor fan installs the rear of the right guard easily and perfectly. Unfortunately there is no similar accommodation for the OEM horn's mount. There is a pre-drilled hole in the right area but it's too small.
I used a 3/4" counter sink bit to hog it out to the proper size - the CS bit works better than simply drilling the right size hole (you'll see why when you see the shape of the horn's bracket). I also filed approx 1/8" of material off the side of the guard to index the the horn bracket and keep it from rotating if hit. Not a big deal, adds about an extra 15 minutes - if you do this before mounting the guard and right raditor!
Looking back I would have used this opportunity to replace the heavy and unsightly OEM horn with a small piezo type mounted near the headstock ornbehind the headlight/number plate assembly. They're less than $10, weigh nothing, and would eliminate the need to modify the bracket - takes less time too.
I rarely ride mine on street. It typically sits with a TXC number plate and rear fender installed, and with the turn signals, mirrors, horn, head or brake lights removed.
I really like 7602's stuff. I have their front & rear disk guards and their case saver - all excellent products that work as advertised and bolted up perfectly.
My only criticism of their products is that their red anodizing leaves a bit to be desired - in 6 months the disc guards and case saver have faded from a deep red to a dull, amost pinkish color. My bike is stored indoors, dark warehouse, when not in use so it's not like it been baking under the Texas sun. So not sure why the anodizing's not holding up on those items.
Strangely, the anodizing on the raditor guards hasn't suffered the same fate. They were the first 7602 product installed and still look a good as new.
You can see how the horn's mount passes through the modified right-side brace near the very top right corner of 3rd photo. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Thinking about calling them soon.
