Title: Downpipe Grille
Post by: STX1300man on March 26, 2017, 07:14:58 PM
Has anybody every made anything like this for the 1400GTR ? Commercial or homebrew?

I already have a Projekt D Stainless Steel radiator grill. I ride all year round and keeping that gaping hole and pipes clean is a nightmare.

Do you think there would be any heat issues?

I've got the R&G rad guard, but they don't do the lower one for the GTR  :cry:

It's what I'm thinking of ... hence the question to see if there any negatives, like over heating etc.

I'm no engineer, but would think that with sufficiently open enough mesh there shouldn't be a problem

Where's Charlie Farlie when you need him

I certainly like it, especially if they could get it in one piece.
