Anyhow, like the design, i'll keep an eye out for a while. I have a piece of 5$ alum mesh, it actually 'looks' great on the Xtx but wont 'stop' much (like sticks).

Just test fitting the XTR guard on a mates bike to make sure if fits and looks good and when I'm happy, I'll be putting the XTX and XTR guards into production :thumbsup: There will be a choice of logos and where the logo is located.

I'll keep watching! I just had to cut the plastic top brackets off the radiator (both cracked and iv'e seen others mention the same). Be much sturdier now with metal brackets and better protected with a new guard!

Let us know when you get going, (or if you decide not to go ahead..) ;)

Ha, looks great. I'm wondering what that is on the front of the tank cover /guards? That guard secton, is it separate to the side cover, I don't have them on my X, perhaps I have aftermarket side covers.. or they are on your mates R or something..?

All the XTR's (like my mates black R in the pic) have a slightly curved rad guard as do XTX's from 2004-2006. The XTX from 2007 onwards has a flat rad guard (pic of Daves bike on the first page) with no side covers.

Ok, I was meaning the front 'grill' bit on the plastic tank/ side covers though..

speak to Aliwakeskate or keep eyes on these forums he has several designs all just about ready to be produced to order i believe.




Update on my Radiator Guard spoke to 5 local powder coaters and none could get powder im after so ordered some in myself and gonna get them to coat with powder i supply . I rode about 650 miles last saturday / sunday including a midnight run to wales for a Fry Up guard is perfect its now as dirty as rest of the bike but looks like it belongs and has always been there lol
