GSW--Busted Radiator Fin

I installed black Dog cycle works radiator guards my first day. They are well built and look great.

You guys are to easy on the idiots who allowed the stock design to be manufactured in the first place. It aluminum, not brass or steel.

By that same great logic one could build a bike full of uninsulated ground wiring- it too would work a while.

Wonder what Forest Gump would say about it...

My 89 (cheap) Transalp has two (2!!) layers of protection between its similar placed rads and incoming objects and of course has never holed one. It is not expensive to engage brains when designing stuff.
 
I grew up riding two stroke liquid cooled dirt bikes with cheep plastic louvers over the radiators. Not only can I not understand why the factory didn't add the protection, I can't understand why no third party has come out with a cheep plastic set of guards to shield them from rocks and sticks. Why does everything in the aftermarket need to be stainless?
