Just posting this up to be very clear of whats going on. Here is the mesh that's going to be used

http://www.twpinc.com/static-images/meshphotos/006X0350AMESH.jpg

It's aluminum mesh and there will be an aluminum edge as well. The radiator guards that Cox makes uses aluminum as well and the wire thickness/open area is spot on. The one I made for myself has only 2 points securing it, which works just fine, but I'd like to try 3 for you guys. It won't want to "wiggle" almost at all. The 3rd anchor is going to be a bit tricky as I'll have to twist the material 90* but it should create a better quality guard.

If there is something specific you'd like me to try to yours individually just let me know and do whatever you'd like.

Yeah I'm in. Sorry I didnt respond sooner guys... I have had a hectic past few days. I haven't really had time to get on the forum and look at whats goin on. Let me know the cost when you can... I'll Paypal the $ when we figure out EXACTLY how much and I'll send my address with the Paypal or in a PM.

Also green... let me know if you would be able to whip one up for an 04 R6... I may be interested in that if the price it right for it. That's my track whore... I'd HATE to lose the rad. on her too.

Thanks

Did mine today, $26.00 in materials

Picked up a piece of stainless screen from lowes (local hardware) and cut it with metal shears. It fit inside the slits of the radiator, I ran some metal ties in the top and bottom for extra support and holding. Good fit, took 30 mins.

That looks REALLY closed off :dunno

Looks are deceiving. Here's the material how I bought it

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/duttson1/c2266ed6.jpg

ah...small holes in the space between holes..wonder what % open that is.

I'm not sure but it flows well, got my bike up to temp and rode around, stayed at 172 degrees moving, it's mild out today, 76 I think

That's what matters then...nice work

If it works, it works. But I (personally) would be incredibly leery using that. I've seen that stuff in the store. While I do agree it does have more open space than it appears in the 1st pic, the open area is maybe 50% or less :/ Just keep your eye on the temps when it starts to get warmer and when you take it on a more "spirited" ride :lol

Fit looks great though :yesnod :thumbup

Thanks, yea I'm always watching my temps anyways, and if it does seem to hot, it will take less than 5mins to remove. I don't plan on using it during track days because the track Tarmac is way better than the roads aroun here, this is easily removable for some commuting to car meets and nice rides, until I feel like ponying up money for a bolt in.

Thanks for the comments. I'm taking it on a longer ride tomorrow to really test it, but it doesnt seem to get hot as is.

:thumbup

Look what just turned up on my doorstep....

Just one for the 06, I wasn't happy with the black stainless mesh. :thumbup

Gotcha :thumbup

Took it out today and did some spirited riding along with some city, zero issues. Thanks for the input guys

Side note, temp today was 66F

I think you are good for the winter...I'd watch it again in the late spring and summer when it gets into the 80s and 90s...hopefully it does alright, but that's when I'd be concerned..the other thing to look at is if it isn't hard to take on and off run it and check temps then remove it and run it in the same temp and see if the bike is running any cooler.

That's my plan, I don't even have to remove plastics to get it on and off, but I'm not too worried about it. If I doesnt stay at my liking, I'm less than 20 minutes away from a metal manufacturing company, and I was quoted like 15$ for more material that is a little more open. I think it will be ok tho

Just received tracking info from the warehouse. Material isn't expected till 1/9. Damn holidays :shake

awesome! hopefully it warms up a little bit so i can ride the bike after I get it and install it.

For those of you that are interested in saving money on shipping and are willing to wait a bit, I will be going to the Jennings track day in April. I can bring them along and either give it to you then or I can give it to a squadron member that is close to you. Just a thought. If not, it looks like shipping will be about $15 through USPS flat rate. If anybody can find it cheaper I would be more than happy to do it that way. The box would have to be approx 13x18x3 and I'll be shipping them from zip 53185

ill have to stick with the shipping method as I know i wont be going to jennings and im sure those local to me wont either...we're a lazy bunch in DFW :lol

Correct :yesnod

And you can add a tab on the bottom as well but will have to twist the material 90*. There might be one on top as well but I believe it would be easier to work with the one on the bottom

However, he said we should be able to work something out so I can get in next week some time :jump He's just gonna stop in to work on his off day just so I can do these up for you guys :sneaky

no hard feelings man. im sure dealing with strands of that shit is a huge annoyance. my radiator has been safe for the last 2 years of riding on the street. im sure its not going to get demolished anytime soon...and if it does ill be sure it causes a lowside totalling the bike out...then ill put a finished guard from you on a 2012 model :lol

I don NOT think that you guys will be dissapointed with greens production. I think that it is/was acceptable. I mounted mine after I got home from the track day. I will take a pic of it a little later today when I get a break from work.
I will mention that I think the product selection could have been slighly better, (no fault of green's) but the final product was great for what product he had to work with. I think the only thing I would like to have seen changed would be another bracket on the bottom to attach it with. (noticed that AFTER installation and, green DID mention that to me when he have me the gaurd ), green also mentioned it earlier that he wasn't satisfied with the material selection.
I did modify it just a bit by painting mine before installation, and also put velcro on the back side and on the front side if the radiator so that it didn't rattle/vibrate.

Overall. Great product produced by a fellow forum member.

awesome to hear. i havent installed anything on the bike in awhile...hopefully the guard will calm the mod bug for a bit my wallet cant take much more :lol

Now that you guys have it all figured out, I'll show you what I did for my GSX-R1000. I started with stiff paper so that I could draw on it and cut a pattern with a scissors (sorry, no pic). Then I used it to cut a prototype out of 1/8" galvanized screen from the hardware store.
http://i44.tinypic.com/s2ungy.jpg
The galvanized screen is cheap and weak enough that it can also be cut with scissors. The shape is such that it fills the full gap inside the fairing, which supports it so no other support is required. One screen protects the radiator and the oil cooler.

Once the prototype was trimmed to the final dimensions, I used it to cut the final version from 8x8x.025 stainless screen (McMaster 9238T22). Aluminum seemed too flimsy for my tastes. Woven wire can unravel at the edges over time so I went around the edges with silver solder to prevent that. Here's the installed final product.

(noticed that AFTER installation and, green DID mention that to me when he have me the gaurd ), green also mentioned it earlier that he wasn't satisfied with the material selection.
I did modify it just a bit by painting mine before installation, and also put velcro on the back side and on the front side if the radiator so that it didn't rattle/vibrate.

Overall. Great product produced by a fellow forum member.

Thanks man :thumbup I've still gotta figure out how to make the bottom bracket since it's gonna be a pain to twist at a 90*. But like I said when I handed it to you, if you weren't happy with it or would have like it to be different to just let me kno. That still stands and if you would like me to get one on there for ya, I will ;)

Nice guard bill. Sweet first post and welcome to the forum :hellobye

Now that you guys have it all figured out, I'll show you what I did for my GSX-R1000. I started with stiff paper so that I could draw on it and cut a pattern with a scissors (sorry, no pic). Then I used it to cut a prototype out of 1/8" galvanized screen from the hardware store.

The galvanized screen is cheap and weak enough that it can also be cut with scissors. The shape is such that it fills the full gap inside the fairing, which supports it so no other support is required. One screen protects the radiator and the oil cooler.

Once the prototype was trimmed to the final dimensions, I used it to cut the final version from 8x8x.025 stainless screen (McMaster 9238T22). Aluminum seemed too flimsy for my tastes. Woven wire can unravel at the edges over time so I went around the edges with silver solder to prevent that. Here's the installed final product.

Should have just used the cardboard, it's only a Gixxer :fact





:lol Just kidding man, looks really good :thumbup Welcome to the Forum.

Thanks man ... I've still gotta figure out how to make the bottom bracket since it's gonna be a pain to twist at a 90*. But like I said when I handed it to you, if you weren't happy with it or would have like it to be different to just let me kno.

Dont get me wrong bro... I am 100% satisfied with finished product.

Plus... It's already painted fitted (with imobilizing industrial velcro) and installed. Its not gonna move dude. Haha.

The one I have is perfect dude. You did a great job with it. Thank you again.

I'll be asking for adresses next week to ship them out :fact

cool, thanks!

So I can't figure out an efficient way of twisting the aluminum at a 90* angle for the bottom bracket and not have it look like garbage :shake Originally all you guys were fine with just having the 2 brackets on the side when you saw mine and I mentioned I would like to add the 3rd afterwards. Is everyone ok with just using the the 2 brackets? I went ahead and bought some weather striping that I can either apply myself or just ship it along with the guards. That should alleviate any tendency to wobble or pivot. I'm not gonna charge any more for it or anything...I've already taken forever on these things :shake I think I can take a small hit and just give you weather striping :fact

Thoughts?

If you're ok with it, just pm me your address and send the cost of materials to the pp I sent in the original pm :thumbup Thanks soo much for the patience guys :bow:

:lol

didnt even see this., great minds I tell you,.. thanks for the quick response..

well if its gonna be that much of a pain in the arse to get the bracket done
i'm okay with weather striping for now,.. my buddy is a machinist, maybe we can
figure out something to get it all mounted securely once I get the bike on the road...

though going from the post above, sounds like its not that big a deal anyway...

any pics of what we require? or what you' managed to come up with ?
I'll run it by him over the next few days & probably will
know whats what by the time you ship..

I'm only using 2 brackets on mine and to be honest, I haven't had any issues at all. It's been used up pretty bad too :lol no dents or anything, just half of the paint missing from all the rocks to the massive bugs :crash I'd just feel better sending these out better than mine. That way I kno there won't be a problem with them down the road

sounds good to me with just the stripping man. Ill PM you my address here in a minute.

Sounds good.

whats the word Green? did you go with the weather stripping or the brackets?

Forgot I didn't post it up here :lol Like I told Bacchus yesterday, I'll mail them out this week. If I can find a box large enough..:shake

Jonny, I'm an idiot and broke one of the tabs off of one of yours. I set something down and it fell on it. Positive note on that...the gaurd didn't dent or anything :flex: :lol I'll be yours out as soon as its reattached :thumbup

Angelraven, still waiting to hear back from ya. I'll have to send you a pm to see what's up ;)

sorry to hear that man...track mishap?

No. It was commuting doing 30. Checked my blind spot and when I looked back forward the dude in front had stopped. I grabbed a bit to much front brake and by the time I realized it was coming up and let go. The back had to much momentum and over it came. Good thing I have another tank and fairings. Just need a subframe, headlights and a fairing stay now.

flipped it forward going 30 :scared

Not even I have mastered that skill yet :lol

holly crap Jonny, that is one of my worst fears out in traffic...

cant imagine flipping a 400+ lbs bike on top of me... wowsah!

It was a bit freaky. Only injury was a bruises rib and sprained wrist. Saved myself a busted head and shoulder because of my gear.

damn man you must have really grabbed ahold of those brakes man. i had someone do that to me. I yeilded to him coming off the hwy checked behind me to see if anyone else was coming off the hwy...i was still rolling about 10-15. didnt see anyone started giving it some gas while i was turning back to MY empty lane. the guy i had yeilded to had come to a dead stop about 20 feet in front of me for no reason at all. grabbed the front brake and the front tire just buckled under. cold tires on cold asphalt in winter dont go together so well :lol

My tires were nice and warm, I had been on the highway for an hour before it happened

mondays cool man. not sure what you were showing us in these pics though.

This fk'n forum :rant it was in another thread earlier, the post disappeared, and now it apparently is here. Between deleting posts, double/triple posting and now moving posts, the forum is pissing me off :shake

fack i was wondering.!! i thought you were trying to show us the new
mounting points for that fancy arse rad cover!! :hammer:

It's for a cbr :fact

recieved my guard from GreenStreak on Thursday. Picked it up from Apt office on friday and coated it with Plasti-dip on saturday and installed.
I gotta admit at first I thought one of the tabs was mounted in the wrong spot...at the bottom instead of at the top. It just wasnt lining up. then I realized removing the ECU uncovered another bolt behind it that is used. Mounted up fine.
sorry hard to get a decent shot of it while its installed
