ShiftHer Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 My bike came with a radiator guard... I think it's an Infinite Performance guard (not sure). In any case, went to install my new side covers tonight, but it's not happening with this guard. B-| I'm not in love with this guard (it's silver, would prefer black), so I'm fine with just getting another one. I'd prefer one that covers the majority of the radiator if possible but, at this point, I just want something that will work with these guys: Does anyone know which ones will for sure work with these radiator side covers?

Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted June 23, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 23, 2016 I have those side covers and the evotech radiator guard which covers most of the radiator. It needs some tweeking to get them to play nice together but is possible if you have a dremel tool or similar. I followed luciphur's tutorial here. It's been over a year and no issues with it whatsoever. Here is a pic of my dirty girl: Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member motomeek Posted June 23, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 23, 2016 Well if you can ever figure out how to make the rad guard work (seems like you'd have to make it work with the one mentioned above too), but you could always just spray paint it black.

Premium Member pgeldz Posted June 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Yamaha billet aluminum side covers will also work with the R&G Rad Guard as well, and probably the Yamaha Accessory one too... - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjaiceberg Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Anyone know if this rad side cover would work on our bikes? It's an XSR700 accessory. I picked up the EP rad guard and decided after that I wanted to change the side covers. http://yamabits.co.uk/yamaha-xsr700-radiator-side-covers-b34-frdsc-00-00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sptpltldr Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The rad side covers that use a hidden faster generally can't work. Including OEM Yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjaiceberg Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Cool. I was more curious about radiator size. I figured it would be the same, just thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0rad Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm interested in this one; a bit expensive; but the best looking IMO. It comes in Satin Grey and Black color as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
