R&G or Evotech radiator guard, or other?

Fitted the Evotech rad/oil cooler guards to my BMW a few weeks ago, not a bad job to do, same as Sin_Chase I had to remove a few panels to install them, but they fit perfectly and look like they're factory installed.

All engine radiators are like this, car or bike.

Ah fair enough, guess I've never really noticed as this is my first new vehicle

I ended up going for the carbon fibre fender extender from Infinite (comes with stick pads + the carbon4u one wasn't compatible with the new model) and the Evotech guards. Thanks for all the comments all

Went for the EP ones in the end. They look awesome and fitting was easy. Little bit fiddly with the oil cooler bolts, but not too bad.

Carbon fibre fender extender dispatched today as well . Couldn't resist for £20

looks much smarter now,idk why manufacturers don't fit them as standard

 

[Craig321]

Yup. Rads always look so unfinished. Should definitely be standard, especially for the price I paid for the thing!

Because they cause problems in hot countries.

 

[wazza300]

how? they are a mesh to allow air through

leave em off for the hot countries they export to then

 

[Kreeeee]

Not enough air flow.

 

[Craig321]

Yeh I have heard they can cause some issues in hot countries. However, the EP one apparently doesn't (according to some that have it on the triumphrat forums). Surely manufacturers can develop one that doesn't cause issues with their bikes.
