    Anyone bought one over the Black one?

    Got any Pix?

    Not sure which would look best on an HRC?

    Not sure about the titanium rad guard over the black. Also don't know how long it would look fresh for.

    Speaking to our Barney today I was saying that I may get a rad guard but he says on the 2013 it was running very hot and he has removed it for the time being so as its mid winter and summer is on the way what do you lot think about this issue?

    I don't think it's a problem for the 2013 bikes , but I tried to fit mine ( them fu* king zip ties )
    But when it was on and on properly I found the bike was heating up very quickly , even at 60 /
    70 mph it was still reaching temps of 100/104 , which I can not understand , so I got back
    home took guard off and its running right , heats up quickly in traffic but fan kicks in and soon
    I take off drops back down to 80's , just don't want the guard on if this is going to happen all
    the time .

    That's why we need some comments Barney its freezing out there and at 70mph there is no way the temp should go that high .Did you take the wrapper off it Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hmmmm!

    Don't sound good that!

    Dilema is buy one and fettle it with a few bigger holes or risk it without one?

    Spose the obvious option is to get the Fender extender and bollox to the Rad guard?

    That's just what I was thinking or is most of the damage done by stones flicked up by others

    I think both mike... I was behind you today, and with the loose stones in the middle of the road, your rear tyre was flicking a fair few stones at my bike, no doubt a few where pinging the radiator...
