CBR1000RR Fireblade DIY Radiator Guard

I made this from expanded steel mesh with reasonably fine holes. Aluminium mesh is easier to handle and work on, but it bends very easily and a stone could possibily defeat it.

It relies on expanding into the groove behind the front lip of the left and right radiator tanks. The radiators "V" shape ensures that it wedges solidly downwards. No other securing mechanism and it seems to be staying in place.

The HRC logo was merely an attempt at attracting some attention to my handiwork!
