Mate reading your posts over the last few weeks seems you need to get that road sealed

is that where all the damage is happening?

No mate, the problem is the tyre gets super sticky on the good roads, then I have to slow down for some shitty patched up crap the tyre picks up little stones and when I take off it hurls them skywards.
I should have the gopro this week and you will see what sort of council we have and the condition that they have let the roads go to

Glad I put the R&G on straight away, I would hate to think what the radiators would be like if I didnt.

I only travel at snail pace over my driveway, so no threat there.

I used the same...EVOTECH's...they have awesome quality...installation was a breeze as it uses same existing mounting screws that are located in the radiator area...Took about 10mins to install both upper and lower guards without removing any of the fairings.

I've used the bike several times on trackdays..and have no issues of the front wheel hitting the upper radiator guard...I live in the Philippines and we do get lots of loose stones too...I highly recommend to install radiator guards on our Panigale's...the Evotech's were really a breeze to install.

Hey Wafatboy,
Have you had any temperature issues as the weave looks quite tight on the mesh?

No issues, ride it through commuter traffic often. Hasn't been too hot here yet, maximum 27C so far.

Had some radiator guards fitted at the first service. These are Warp Speed.
