Had Mike on the line about this earlier in the week, seems like a universal issue with GB 60mm's at the moment.
Apparently Berthoud now advising to drill as normal + bolt down and the stay should deform to fit the curve. We will see!
That feels like a horrendous bodge - and surely it would deform and squeeze the guard locally but not throughout their length? Bad engineering and machining treated as a solution IMO. Glad I steered clear.
Did a quick test by hand / eye – the stays are much more maleable than the guard thankfully.
TBH more worried about getting it right in terms of drilling + alignment.
