    K7 GSX-R750 Radiator Guard

    Is there a NZ distributor for these? I know of Rad Guard Australia - do I have to go them direct?

    Can they be made?

    Options?

    Any advice appreciated.

    i know most bike shops should be able to do it for you, Baycity up here put them on all new bikes if you ask, all it is is a piece of aluminium mesh fixed with cable ties, nothing really high tech, just make sure its not touching the radiator cores.

    I have been thinking of getting one as well. If you do line something up can you let me know, could get a better price for more than one item possibly.

    But why do you need one before you get back on the road?

    what you do is go to somewhere like urich alumin and you get a sheet of mesh, there is enough mesh in a sheet to do 3 sorta bikes, and sheet only costs $30 or something silly like that then its just a bit of time using some zip ties, and some like double sided tape to stop it rubbing and your good to go

    Because this week some kind soul instilled the fear of radiator holes late at night in the middle of nowhere

    Put a picture of some supermodel in your profile and you'll get all sorts volunteering to sort it for you.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    touching 40,000kms no problems with no garud.

    Alot of i think really dependson who you ride with and how close you ride behind them, if you ride with alot of other sport bikes(aka sticky tires), and often very close behind them, you gonna be more prone to getting a hole, and also getting your front fairing covered in stone chips.

    But Blue Velvet, its not that hard, as long as you make sure the cover you make up does not touch any of the cores of the radiator you should be good to go.
