So after some research, it seems the Force radiator guard protects the best and I ordered one! :).  I also have an IMS 3.1 gallon tank and I was wondering if I am going to have any fitment issues or will this be a straight forward install?  Will the shroud still fit ok?

Thanks!

Well, I guess I just find out when it gets here, lol. I can't seem to find any information either way and I was hoping someone here has a force rad gaurd with an IMS 3.1 tank, hehe.... GAHHHH

I don't have first hand experience with the force guard, but I do with the IMS 3.1 and the Flatland guard, and I can't see why the Force's design would create any interference with the design of the tank.

I have the Force guard and the IMS 3.1 and I am quite happy with the setup.  They work well together, but there is an issue with function, not fitment.

The shroud/body panel/tank cover on the right side mounts directly to the radiator. That means that an impact on the right side can still damage the radiator as the load path runs from the plastic panel through the screw connections to the mounting brackets on the side of the radiator. I have seen pictures where this did not end well.

Fortunately there is an easy fix: Provide a mechanical "Fuse" in the connection between the panel and the radiator.  Instead of using the stock fasteners, I just used the smallest, weakest zip ties available.  This also has the advantage of "adding lightness" Very happy
