Mudsling Installation / Original Shock Guard Removal

[Mad Mac]

OK Guys (and Gals), got myself a second hand Mudsling, no doubt because the Mudsling Max has just been released.
Came complete with instructions, but no mention of removing the original shock guard. I know this rubs on the mudsling (because of previous threads here and the fact that there is a small scuff mark on the mudsling that I have bought) and want to remove it. Only question is.....is it as easy as removing the stainless bolts that appear to hold it in place, or do these bolts serve another purpose also. I don't want this to turn into a big job because of my ingnorance. Would welcome confirmation from someone who has removed the original shock guard before I break out the spanners.

Many thanks for your input and experience.....

Piece of cake , just undo the nut you mentioned and jiggle it from around the shock and job done

I agree with Forest biker. I fitted one of these to my old GS and it took 10 mins start to finish and there was time to drink a brew in there too.

Yeah too right....
Looking for someone who has an MRA screen, the one with the overlapping screen elements rather than the little lip on the top edge.....
Also will be fitting aux power panel soon (the one Nippy's do which can be set up for switchable/non-switchable) for additional socketry including USB, and for install of Autocom.
Onwards with the install !!!!
