Mike, Your rad guard arrived safe and quick, and mounted nicely.Looks good; thank you. It will obviously hold up well if the bike goes down on it's left side at a standstill, and yes, it might even save the tank in certain situations. Have you had any feedback on how it holds up in a slide down the road? My concern is that it may peel back and slice off the radiator cap/filler neck area of the rad guard. Any thoughts on this?

I would *think* that if you fell that hard on the left side, you would have lost the rad with or without the gaurd.

It will hold up in a slide. I tested mine in Mexico, at about 35mph, I also had about 90 lbs of gear on, And Dave tested his out when he fell over going up a steep hill, He slid backwards about 10 feet. My shroud is pretty banged up from the flying rocks, I no for sure my radiator would have been tore off with out the guard, And i was 1&1/2 Days from the nearest town on a dirt road, Or donky path as Dave called it........ I could no longer stand on my pegs to ride as i screwed up my left knee, Talk about a sore ass, Any way back to the brace, ITS MADE TO PROTECT, Look at the other small braces. Mike
