Evotech seems to be a forum favorite, and there is also the Yamaha OEM accesory. What are you running and would you order it again?
Where did you guys with the evotech guards order them? I usually go with revzilla, but they only have the R&G and I don't really like the looks of it.
If you have radiator and oil cooler guards post up some pics and where you got them to motivate me to place an order.

I started with the Yamaha OEM radiator guard because the Evotech wasn't available at the time. The Yamaha looks good but it didn't match the Evotech oil cooler guard which I had on the bike. So last December I bought the Evotech radiator guard and swapped out the Yamaha one, now I have a matched radiator/oil cooler guard set. Either the Yamaha or Evotech will work. Just depends on what you like. I got mine from Motostarz as well, good pricing and good service.
You shouldn't need motivation for these items, they are really a necessity to protect the radiator and oil cooler, and they keep those nasty bugs from messing up the finned surfaces, just wipe the bastards off after a ride. |

I'm running the Evotech set as well. Great protection. Look good as a bonus.

Definitely get the Evotetech set. Super easy to install also. The Yamaha t installs with zipties and the Evotech's bolt on. Pay a little more and get allot more.

Evotech does all the engineering, design and testing and then is ripped off by the Chinese using cheap labor with no respect for intellectual property rights. No thanks, I have a real problem with these types of knockoffs. I'll pay a little more to support real companies. |

I ordered the Evotech rad and oil guard package from motostarz. I found that their prices were much better than Revzilla's for pretty much everything, even with the Canadian currency conversion rate.
...and I agree fully, don't buy some Chinese knock-off. If motorcycling is a passion, and you care about your bike, buy the real stuff.

+1 on the Evotech set. Just received them motostarz.ca and will install soon. I think look great with the black on black look.
