I'd fit a Dome headed allen bolt so it's more rounded and flush.
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

Don't think so, just looks like the spacer is bringing the allen head bolt closer to the radiator hose.

Re: Fitting Ztechnik engine protection
An alternative to simbo's suggestion is a flanged button screw which doesn't need a washer.
