As promised here is some pics of my 636, the radiator and my modified version of a radguard (http://www.radguard.com.au).
One of my clients is a flyscreen and security door manufacturer and I was able to get some Aluminium "tuff mesh" (like flyscreen, but made of aluminium) and push it behind the radguard grill. I then ran some hot glue around the edge for additional security. So far the bike appears to be running at the same temperature so I am sure the grill has not affected cooling.

Did you have any drama's with the Radguard? They seem to be the pick. I'm sticking something on the 10 as it's already copped a couple of small dings in a couple of rides up the old road.

None whatsoever.

If you are even thinking about getting a guard, stop what you are doing and order it now (no, I don't work for them).

Just for the sheer pain-in-the-arse factor a hole can cause you... but think of the damage overheating your bike can cause.

There cannot be a single good reason not to get a gurad of some description and the radguard fit my bike perfectly.

OK, confused now...

...is that an actual Radguard, as in one of the ones they advertise in bikemags, or something you got these clients of yours to knock up? Or do your clients, who make security grilles and mesh, also make Radguards on the side?

From the look of it, that looks about the same size as the rad on my 6R-J1 (maybe a few cm taller).

Would these guys be interested in doing a group buy for the group?
Would you be so kind as to arrange it?

I'd definitely be up for one, but not at the $150 that Radguard themselves want.

Even at $150 it's not a bad deal if you've got the bucks. I bent a radiator on the 426, a new one was $400 and it was $150 to get it fixed. It's about an eigth the size of the unit on a ZX6 or 10 so I'd hate to see the cost of them.

Good idea on the bulk deal though as the radiators on these things are fairly prone to anything coming off the front wheel

Yes. It is an actual Radguard. I modified it using flysreen mesh supplied by my client.
I would like to have an idea of how many would order a guard before making any calls to them. I am sure it will be the first question they will ask "how many guards are you going to order".

Count me in
