Seen all this radiator stuff before???????
If you want a radiator guard for your bike :think1 off to supercheap you go. Grab a sheet of that aluminium grid stuff the doof doof guys use for the radiators of their cars and cut one out.
It comes in a few colors like, silver, red, blue and that and a sheet costs around $20.oo and you can make 4 0r 5 radiator guards for bikes out of it.
Sooooooo you measure up the size you want. Best to cut a piece of cardboard to get the right size. So cut the aluminium sheet, scizzors work well. Run a bead of silastic around the edge like a raised ridge and simply stick it on. Maybe use some tape to hold it in place while the silastic hardens.
Too bloody simple, so cheap and it works just as well as a zillion dollar one you buy. The money you will save buys a new tyre for the bike :thumbs
Only used the hand made like for 30+ years on a few bikes and the stones stuck in em and marks on em show me they work well :thumbsup

Agree with Terry, I made one up doing exactly this but just used zip ties to keep it on. Has definitely been keeping the bugs out. From memory it was about $35 for a sheet (cost increases over the years :eek ). I gave the excess away so others could make some up as well, I think there was enough for three or four bikes. :thumbs

tj, had a look under the bed and found some mesh complete with the box it comes in. The stuffs called "SAAS"Universal Mesh. Heres a pic. Mesh is the stuff on the right of the box. And mate does this mean we have free Lattes for a year cause of the cash we same some?????? :thumb

Just had a kook at the ST1100's radiator guard and its stuck their with cable ties too. Must of been the Blackbird or BM that had the Silastic????

I did the 'Terry tightarse' radiator protector as well. I have enough left for 2 other ST11s, but they may be taken.
-
Hmmmm tightarse eh. Been told its cute, but as to the other :think1 . Truth is as we know, the ones that actually ride know what works, and the stuff that really works a lot of the time costs very little. May not be trendy and have a name to it but it works.

That's it alright :thumbs

Well Terry and TJ, I for one think you are very intelligent and noble men who have saved me a few dollars - excellent work! Remind me to buy you both a beer when we next meet up. Just don't ask me to comment on your arse! :butt
