Then again your name is dipshit....

You would think wouldn't you. Yet some of those wire mesh screens posted here look to be getting that way.

This is one i made for my bike with some aluminium mesh....

Using the Rad side guard like you have is a tidy way to fit it. My daughter is about to pick up a new SV650...might suggest it to her.

I have the same mesh on my monster...

At the moment i am watching it like a hawk to make sure there is no chafing going on. I also put a couple of washers under the side guard screw points to keep the guards off the tanks a bit more, because the mesh underneath the front edge pushed the back lip into contact in a couple of places. So far so good.
