I like it, wonder how many rocks the radiator will catch?

I would say at that price it would be foolish. Compare it to this.

They should have put more thought into protecting the radiator. That lower front fender sure isn't going to do anything. Otherwise, I like the idea. Protect the radiator better and pull up the exhaust, ala XR750 style, and it would be a winner.

Needs dirt bike cleats and an inverted fork. Not diggin' the double front fender setup.

It's not a bargain but I like what they did with it, although a 19" front wheel might make more sense for that bike.

The Ducati starts at $8,500, compared to the $13,000 they have in this one.

I do like it, though. Well, not the front end, but that's just my taste.

There's a real problem for the stock grill that has holes large enough for damaging rocks to hit the radiator core. I ride on some dirt and gravel roads and worried about damaging my radiator core with rocks picked up by the front tire. Fortunately this has already been addressed by an after market alumimum grill that has much smaller holes but still plenty of flow-thru for cooling. I purchased the alumimum replacement grill kit on eBay and it only took about 20 minutes to swap out the stock grill with the aluminum grill.
