I just put one of John's guards on. It's nothing terribly fancy, but it is well made, fits easily, and looks like it will do the job without significantly restricting airflow. The black one is essentially unnoticeable. Recommended.

Highlander,

I looked at those radiator guards and thought "Yeah, those might work in England with their cool weather, but they might be too restrictive for the 100+ days that we get in Sacramento."

How has your experience with them been?

Could someone help me out and give me the overall dimensions of their after market guard. I would like to try my hand at building one for myself.

It runs the same temp as before, no increase in the fan usage at all. It's pretty hot down in Silly Valley too It made no increase in bike temperature, still 4 bars on slow in town / slow commute traffic, never seen 5 bars.

Sorry snowmonkey .. it dark out there.. h34r: can't help ya tonight!

I've got the BJ version and also the ebay one

Have used both for a summer each and despite the appearances being markedly different, I conclude there's no difference in terms of affect on temp

As the BJ version is smarter, and will allow less crud thru, I'll be going with that

Hi Roger,

Did you get two or four rubber pieces ??

When you say you mounted it behind the horns, you mean between the horns and their mounting brackets or between the mounting brackets and the radiator ??

I just received mine and want to install it right.

Thanks
