Thanks again.
I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. It's an OEM mustache guard, so I doubt I'll run into any major issues. I'll take pictures as I go along for any other new riders like me who aren't sure of the process.

As it turns out, the process was unexpectedly easy. Remove two upper bolts, remove two lower bolts, line up the engine guard, install with supplied bolts between the mounting bracket and the horn. It came out fairly nicely and now I have just a little extra piece of mind and confidence while practicing slow speed maneuvers.
