    I'm sure others have used that type and been happy with it. Personally I'm a big fan of EvoTech Performance but you do pay more for their kit.

    Was about to buy the evotech guard when seen this so got me thinking if similar and a decent option, I’ve never ever had a rad guard and thankfully hadn’t ever had an issue but my friend got a stone through his super duke radiator when we were last out which brought his day to an end... admittedly the stone came off the back wheel of my blade lol

    That is a ripping price! Looks good also. I paid £70 for my 2018 R & G which looks about the same as this 30-quid job!

    For @Leem79 , my 'funny' on your post was for the stone coming off your bike and not your friend's mishap.;)

    Got one on my blade, perfect fit and just lock wire in place, although I reckon it would stay on without lock wire.

    Agreed......but It won't look so blingy if it ends up on its side!!
