DEVOL RADIATOR GUARDS are shit

[orangeback]

bought some devol radiator gards for the WR 450 , they are a shocking fit , and a bad design , see pic's and OME shrouds dont line anymore.
just a warning as they where not cheep , should have stuck with the GYTR ones

just a warning as they where not cheep , should have stuck with the YTR ones

go to super cheap autos, get some grill mesh $40.00 & cut it down to fit, have done it on my 07 R1, looks good.

is it because your running and over sized tank???
Had mine on my new rmz250 since new and ive taken some pretty big knocks on the bike, ( one knocking me Unconscious ). fall off every ride religiously. and they have handled everything.
only one small crack in the RADIATOR GUARD has appeared.
were your ones for the wr450 or for the yzf450???

Sorry just read they are for the wrf.........

id say devol radiator guards are awesome, got them on my cr250, iv had plenty of crashes and so far my radiator guards have saved me many many radiators. allthough one of the rear braces does now have a crack which i need to get welded up - beats the hell out of forking out for radiators eveery time you crash.

repco mesh would definately not do the same job

Yeah I think that they are awesome too. My radiator would be a twisted pile of shit without them.

LOL classic!!!

Anyway I'd just say that you probably have the wrong guards...

I've got a set of bulletproof designs rad guards on my YZ125 with an oversized tank and I couldn't be happier. I crash often and hard and I've not had a problem. With the hog out style they've got front and side protection. My radiator shrouds have taken a beating but that's to be expected. They're spendy guards but I'd rather not get stuck on a trail or DNF a race because of a busted radiator.

EDIT: Don't know if/how they'd be available there though:doh:

Blimmin heck, at twofiddy a pop you would want them to fit!
Hell at that price maybe I should quit my job and start making radiator guards!
