Default I Put on a Rad Guard

Watched a Youtube video about this rad guard, I liked the look and how easy it was to install, it doesn't touch the rad and it's from Australia. Couldn't find an online link for the company but it was available from eBay, with shipping to Canada it was less than $50.00 Cdn, about $35.00 US. Took about 10 days to arrive.

Rad guard is a super smart idea. A youtuber with a Fat Boy that I watch had his trip to Sturgis cut very short when his front tire launched a screw into his radiator.
Mine is gold, to match my color scheme. Also I swapped the radiator frame from black to Chrome as part of the install.

Hey Fran - I'm curious if that Youtuber is Harley Fatboy Jr?

Rad Guard makes a good product. I had a BMW K1600B that had them on the oil cooler and radiator.

That's funny. He's my neighbor. We just started riding together in the last few months. Great guy.
