The radiator core was showing a few small dings after a comparatively short distance and not wishing to hole it miles from anywhere; a guard was purchased from Cox Racing Products.  Beautifully manufactured, only took a few minutes to fit and the communications and service from Andrew Cox in Portland OR, and to New Zealand was outstanding.

A wheel weight or a bolt. When you examine it closely there’s a deep rectangular dent and then a longer, shallower trough perpendicular to it. Whatever it was, if I hadn’t been running the guard it would have ended my ride.

One less thing to worry about!”

“I got my Cox Racing Guards yesterday. I removed the R&Gs that I had installed and put these in their place. I thought I'd give a candid review of them both Here are the key points from my comparison:

-Cox Racing Guards are lighter

-They are annodized instead of powder coated
-The design of the grill of Andrew's (Cox Racing) guard actually has a tilt to it

-The radiator guard "fits" the bike better than the R&G

-Install was pretty simple

-Workmanship is outstanding. Fit and finish don't get any better!

-Did I mention you can get Red, Blue, Gold, Titanium, Silver, Black or even KTM orange!”

Awesome product! I received it today and installed in less than 15mins. It took me more time to take off the sticky back on the foam padding than installing the guard itself.

These radiator guards are excellent quality the reason behind me saying this is that I've been certified in all my metals to be able to weld on turbine combustion engines and as I see the quality metal that they use I'm very happy to say that the metal that they are using is of the highest quality. I suggest anybody that has a chance to purchase one of these radiator guards for their motorcycle it's a very good investment and I would suggest you taking the time to purchase the radiator guard if you happen to have some cash on hand. Don't take the chance like I did and learned the hard way, install one of these on your motorcycle before it is too late.
