Radiator covers, YUCK

I've seen prettier balls on a dog, a rattle can of flat black paint should fix the problem.

Now that there I can agree with 100% but with a slightly different theme!

Nope, no carbon fibre hydrodip for me. I’d rather spray/powdercoat them black.

Have you bought a set then Max?

For the alutech QD composite carbon fiber ones retailing at $516 in your money over here they can take a running jump!

Surprisingly they match rather well with the carbon fiber front fender and cowl fitted to mine. Still awaiting the right hand carbon fiber airbox cover to finish off.

K9F - I think the faux carbon fiber looks beautiful. Very nice job....

Thanks Mark. The local paint specialist who does this work I have used numerous times over the years. To prevent 'drop ins' and people submitting smaller items as they have enough larger work they have a minimum charge of £250 + 20% tax for any work. However they do make exceptions for regular customers. Amazing what they can do.

I looked at those radiator guards and thought the same thing. I couldn’t get past how bulky they look. I was considering getting a set and powder coating them matte black.
But I’m still stuck on the oversized look of them.

Hi MilwDave,

Once 'toned down' the size perspective changes somewhat IMHO. Standard silver they look huuuge!

Maybe in Indian red? Not sure it would look right. I like it on the Trident though.

I got them powder coated.

Thanks Billy, an excuse to post this...
I have recently purchased an X-75 Hurricane, I did a double take when I saw this.
