I am looking to fit a Rad Guard to a 2014 Blade can any one recommend which make is the best Evotech or R&G and do you need to remove the side panels to fit them. Any advice welcome
As much as I hate R&G products with a passion! I've got one of there rad guards, it actually fits quite well and hopefully it will save my radiator if someone starts chucking rocks at me no removal of any part of the fairing, the two top fixing points are held on with cable ties and bottom via the OE radiator stay.
Looks a good Rad Guard and easy to fit ... have you used this one or any one else on here it would be good to hear what they are like once fitted .
For my 2007 i just unloose the front and side fairings a little bit for the rad guard to fit so the job was easy enough. For the price, the R+G were good and still holds
I've got one to put on my s1000rr had r&g on blade think the one in link looks better made then r&g tbh
I have just fitted an Evotech one to my ZX10R, fitted one to my last blade (11 plate) and also put one on my previous ZX10R, wouldn't be without one , a doddle to fit and in my opinion a lot better than the R&G offering no flakey paint and better quality and looks better too
Had R&G on both my blades and Evotech on my S1000rr , both do the same job and I think they're about the same price as well. I went for Evotech this time due to it being properly fitted as opposed to cable tied. Having said that I never had an issue with the R&G ones on my blades.
that was the first mod I did to my bike in 2008 and I think it is a must in this country. at the time R&G was the only one that looked good to me. Installation was very simple with no panel removal. check the mesh pattern and the overlay size as you do not want to restrict the airflow too much and that the whole of the radiator is protected
