1050 radiator guard

[Bounce001]

Hi there

I am wanting to buy a radiator guard for my 1050 speed triple (2009). I don't like the triumph ones, would prefer something that looks like it will actually stop a stone!

I have an Evotech Performance radiator guard on my Shiver. It looks like a factory item, came with full instructions and all the extra bits I needed and was really straightforward to fit. It turned up in under a week.

I highly recommend this firm. Give them your business!

This is what I fitted to my S3. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1226527&postcount=12
It worked well looked fine and cost next to nothing.

I got one of these guys awhile back,very good quality and the way the $ is probably a better bet than the states etc.http://www.radguard.com.au/

Just use a solid piece of plywood and duct tape it on. It'll work a treat..... for a while?

One wonders why manufacturers position radiators just so, yet make no effort to protect these fitments from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

Its called supporting your stealerships parts division.Put a rad guard on my TL shortly after buying it way back and its still on the original radiator,not bad for a Vtwin.

Stealerships parts departments generally don't stock radiator guards, nor do they show the remotest interest in sourcing items that involve unnecessary work. I don't know why their parts dudes can't leap on the Internet and do the ordering, then clip the ticket on the parts they supply the customer -- just the same way they do with stuff that comes from their distributors.

"Sorry mate, can't help," doesn't cut it any more with me I'm afraid.

Thats my point,they will however sell you any amount of new radiators.Ive been lucky in little ole ommers in that the guy that own the local stealership has gone well out of his way to help me source various bits n bobs that have held little or no profit for him,i repay him by taking all of my motor vehicles to him for anything i cant do myself as he services cars etc as well.

Back in the old days (1980's) bikes came with radiator protection.

Did exactly the same thing to my triple. If memory serves me correct it was on within 24hrs of picking the bike up

I bought these for my Tiger 955i from here: [ https://www.metisse.de/index.php?id=114&L=1 ]

Just look up your bike model. (my pic was too big, will try again soon)

I am very pleased with them. :niceone:

I am very pleased with them. :niceone: Got to agree after seeing them numerous times in the flesh that they are indeed very swish,i do see a new bit on there though John.

These look pretty good too, http://www.warpspeed.net.au/temp/rg.html
They do them in different colors as well. Sold thru Ebay, most of them are priced under $190 Aus.

I have a used rad guard and oil guard from my '05 speed triple that I (ahem) no longer have a use for.

I don't know if they fit other years, or if they're what you're after, but drop me a PM if interested.

I have a tiger 1050. i went to super cheap autos and bought some aluminium mesh, the stuff the boy racers use. then to para rubber for some rubber grommet things and a rubber edging strip. took 20 minutes to cut the right shape and attach with zip ties. looks like a bought one, works very well, easily removed for cleaning and cost less than $20. has stopped several large stones that would have dented or holed the raditator. we did the same to an mt01 looks great.
