Radiator Guards? - Page 5

jarelj · August 7th, 2012, 01:29 PM

We have the R&G ones in stock, that's what I put on my bike, they go all the way to the edges and are mounted very firmly but don't require the radiator to be removed to install.

Here's a link to them:
R&G Panigale Radiator Guards

Here they are on my bike:

Jarel, how do the R&G guards mount (zip ties, bolts, etc)? It looks like you had to take the side and lower fairings off for the install. Is this correct or can you slip them in like the evotech? Thanks, they look good.

They have tabs that bolt on to the radiator mounts. Not a simple slap-on the outside like the Evotech, you have to remove the fairings, remove the plastic shroud around the radiator, and remove the mounting bolts for the radiator to fit the guards up. Once they're on, they're very solid, no worries about them coming loose.

I have a set, but have not enjoyed taking the fairings off/on for my last 2 mods. Is there a particular sequence for taking them on/off? Do any other parts (fairings/ducts, etc.) need to be removed first? It just has been a bear putting them back on, getting all the slots lined up. snapped in...

Send the R&G ones back and get Evotech instead. As per my other email it took two of us 5 hrs to fit and we snapped both the tabs of the upper fairings. They look good now but if you don't want to go thru the pain and trauma don't start the job!!

Has anyone noticed running temp increases after a rad guard install?
I installed the top and bottom evotech ones last night and this morning I noticed roughly and increase of just under 10*C.
Temps in Sydney's north west were reasonably cool, but she was running at 104*C. Normally I would expect 95ish in the same conditions.
