My credit card's trembling with fear as we speak!

I never had a problem with a rock/whatnot pearcing the costy radiator but who cares! I think they rock!

They look tasty but I have my concerns about the foam backing reducing the cooling effect. Plus they are twice as expensive as mikesgrilles.

Have to agree with you... think mikesgrilles ones are a much more clever solution! Thanks for the input!

especially for the $! If you're looking for the covers, have to go with mikesgrilles. I believe I'm getting ready to! :upthumb:

I had something hit my radiator causing a bad enough leak to require replacement. Replacement at the dealer was $600, and that was with the service manager cutting me a break on the prices. The radiator alone was $490!

Mikesgrilles are the way to go. Stylish, can get them done in basically whatever color combo, and mount up n a few minutes. The Fabs do look good, but I would agree the foam is an issue and they are $$$$....

Rad Gaurd Australia make one which covers both coolers,have had their gaurds on previous bikes and they work great,no overheating problems.The one for the triples looks bib and bulky but you could possibly paint a big union jack on it? Site address is www.radguardaustralia.com

I just got my covers from Mike's Grilles and they are the dog's bollocks! :-D

I got them in less than one week and spent about 20 minutes on the install. I'm glad I chose the silver, I think they look great with the frame and wheels.
