Radiator guard for Bandit

I've been wanting to get a DECENT radiator guard for my bike for ages but don't agree with the zip tie method specials and just cant see the justification for $200 for the other type offered. I found this one on fleabay... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110677532041&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Opinions?

Very nice

For me, that is by far the best i've seen .

With being matt black it would suit your B1250 noodie very nicely, Gus.

Ps I am not actually agreeing with Gus btw, but it is the best I've seen.

That's the ducks nuts - gotta get me one.

Looks great. I wonder how much airflow it chokes?

I like the look of that. I have a Rad Guard on mine and it's very well made. A mate bought some obscure brand from Ebay which seems a bit flimsy to me, although it looked good in the photo. Make sure to let us know what this one is like if you get it.

I know 3 months down the track, but did did you end up getting the Rad guard Full Throttle, or an other brand. Just got my new Bandit & as there has been a bit "crap" weather lattly I can see a clear spray line on the Rad' & if a stone came up as well......$$$$$.

Just reakon the "really" important add ons should go on 1st!!! ie ones that might save me $$$$!!!

Cheers!

I got a Speed Works one from Ebay. (Rated R Parts) It does the job habd at least once has saved me $1000.
I think it was the first thing I put on the bike.
Just remove the rad side panels and put this in place then reattach the side panels.
You'll see it in all my pix.

2Wheels, are you sure it wasn't a Warspeed guard from RatedR?

Mine has held up very well on the harsh WA country roads. Kudos to my mate Warpy who hand makes all of his radiator guards

Yes mate. My Bad I shall sculk back into my corner now.
Steve at Rated R is very good to deal with.

I got mine off E-bay from Germany for $70 (inc postage).... and not sure if pic is loading...

Very 'Blingy' ormguard

Looks great .. was it easy to attach and does it give full clearance to the front mudguard under compression?
What else does the site offer?

I think it was from these guys

They do chain guards and a few other bits. You can get darker colours but as the engine block is all black on my Bandit I did go with a bit of "bling" : ). It has good clearance and is easy to clean. Took me 5 mins to put on and was a perfect fit, I am very happy with it.

Looks pretty snazzy for $70.
Whats it made from?
A wise investment no matter how much it costs. (relatively)

just got the same type 2 days ago - easy to fit and is secured from the top two mounting bolts and the side ones as well . best purchase i have made so far

The guard is CNC machined from aircraft quality aluminium.

I have the more expensive 'other type' which is what I was happy with until I saw this one. Bugger!

that would be even better if you could have any text, like the Bandit or GSX logo

just ordered one one of these { ep black version}...Ill report back when it turns up...$86AU...

I just replace my home made radiator gaurd with a EP Radiator Gaurd , Thanks to Fossil. Looks great

Yes and thanks to fossil for my beowulf too as much bling as i could ever want on my cicle

my EP rad guard just turned up.. ordered on the 16th so 9 days all up.....looks very well made and a factory fit..great product and Id recommend it to anyone

after fitting the ep guard..I find it has a slight rattle.. probably the close fit it has with the middle of the rad..Im gonna try some rubber strip to stop it..anyone else had this problem ?
