Best Radiator/Oil Cooler Guard

[clanadam]

OK folks what's the best rad + oil cooler guard to go for - in terms of quality and ease of fitting? Evotech seems to get good reviews? I'm thinking of going for Evotech rad+oil guards, crash bungs and possibly front + rear spindle bobbins - wise move or overkill?

Wise move...

The rad & oil cooler are huge in area behind the front wheel...I suspect it would only take a rock or two to spoil your day..

I fitted Evo-rec rad & oil cooler guards to my XR. Probably took me about an hour to fit and they look very smart. I left them on my XR when I agreed the p/x deal but will be ordering another set for my R, so Evo-tec gets my recommendation

Got Evetech on mine.
They look well but there is a bit at the bottom where the black has been 'sanded' off by the road grit thrown up by the front wheel
No idea how easy they are to fit cos I gave mine to the dealer to fit before I collected the bike

I have the Evotechs fitted. Easy to do.

Got these on eBay - easy to fit and do the job. Main guard is held in place by bending to conform to radiator outer ridges which holds it snuggly in place. A few tie wraps provide peace of mind final fixing.

I preferred this option as it is easy fix and easy to remove and I'm lazy like that.

That looks smart FZZup - did it come with the BMW writing or did you add that?

I went with cheap ones off fleabay, thinking when they got beat up enough I would just replace them with fresh ones, at the 30-40 dollar range for both I can do that a few times compared to some of the pricier ones.

This was the site I used
http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/racingradiatorguards?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

The guy used to have two S1000XR variants one with writing one without. 

A quick look on his site I couldn't see the ones with BMW Motorad on them.

I like that - save some £££ and replace in a while if they start to look manky - worth a punt for sure! Thanks guys.
