Moose Racing Radiator Guards The first product to be reviewed is Moose Racing's new radiator guards.  I will be assembling them to my new 2007 KTM 300 XC-W.  Moose sends out their guards with an excellent set of instructions.  I will be adding a few secrets I found while bolting them up.   The first thing that needs to be completed after taking the seat and gas tank off is to drain the engine coolant.  A long narrow funnel is helpful to keep the coolant from running down the side of the engine.  After the coolant is drained and the radiators are disassembled from the bike you can start to assemble the guards to the radiators.  Make sure to notice there are two different length support rods.  The shorter one goes on the bottom.  Once the rods are in place and you start assembling them back to the bike, do not tighten the radiators and guards completely to the frame, leave them loose, until you have the shrouds attached to the radiators.  This will be helpful to line everything up prior to final tightening.  After everything is tightened and in place, go ahead and give a tug on the radiators.  They feel like you could hook a tow rope to them, very solid.  Please see the attached for pictures the assembly process.  Good luck and god pity the trees, because I don’t think these things are going to move.  Be sure to sign back in later for a durability review.
