Beowulf Radiator Cover

I didn't trust the huge gaps in the stock radiator cover for protecting my radiator from stones so I decided to buy a Beowulf Radiator cover from here. I had a 10% discount voucher that needed using up.

I didn't get it to look nice, just to protect the radiator, so I painted it black. My bike is as blacked out as I can get it and I don't like the shiny bits on bikes!

It was damn easy to fit, except that I had to use a washer underneath the cover on one side and I couldn't use the stock radiator covers as they wouldn't fit with the Beowulf cover. The sides are covered by the fairings anyway.

Here it is looking shiny and sexy:-


Here is where it attaches to the radiator:-


Here it is in the middle of the painting process:-


I can't remember why I took two pictures of the same view, but I thought I'd post it anyway:-


Here it is after baking in the oven and fitting:-


Looks good:-


It's obvious how much better it protects the radiator than the stock:-

It's great, and definitely a hell of a lot easier to clean than the stock one, harder to give the radiator behind it a clean though. I'll have to take it off every 6 months or so and make sure there isn't any crap building up behind it.

Re: Beowulf Radiator Cover

Nice one, i got a Beowulf rad cover too, except I got the 'Fazer' one even tho mine is FZ6N. I just thought the word Fazer looked better - bit of a nickname - although i know the name is meant to be for a faired version.
