Rad guard? a plus or minus?
hi, i can get some msr rad guards for $27. I was wondering if it is worth it. I already have slightly damaged radiators and do not want them to get worse. Also do they restric some of the airflow and become a problem or are they fine?? thanks.

They work well... and don't block enough air flow to matter....at least on mine.

Those do block air flow... at least that is what I have heard.

The Works Connection Rad braces are the best insurance for side impact. They do a good job of reinforcing the side of the rads. (most often damaged by tip over crashes). Unless you really have a problem with someone else roosting big ass rocks into the front of your rads the stock plastic gaurds are more than up to the task of protecting the frontal fins.

Do a search its been covered many times already. Does that sound like a familiar response ?? DRN ???
Just buy the premixed stuff. Just pour it in as is. I use Motul. If you overheat try Evans NG+ I beleive its called. Or theres also Water Wetter but not as good as Evans (or so I have read anyway).

For used, since you asked about used in this post, from the best I can tell, they are running around $27 used. Just look on http://www.denniskirk.com, http://www.rockymountainmc.com or some place like that for the new price, if that is what you meant.kdx220freak wrote:no those are how much i have to pay for used ones, im wondering how much they are used.

You'd best be asking the seller how much 'use' they have had if thats what you mean.kdx220freak wrote:no those are how much i have to pay for used ones, im wondering how much they are used.
EDIT.. OH I see what you mean.... I think...
