Thought it looked right , without being gaudy and will provide a bit more protection to the radiator from stones and road debris.
So another to a long line of accessories. I'll post picks once it arrives and is installed.

That's Hardly Ableson isn't it? Put a radiator on one and Heavy Duty could actually call it progress but some how I don't think they're at that stage in their evolution.

Its stainless so you could paint it black and if you didn't like it, it would be easy to linnish it back to original.

Hey TBRider I also ordered one just after the Birmingham show last year, sent them my design jpeg and they did this one for me, took a while to come but I think it was worth the wait.

Haven't had a chance to test it yet, but keithf (couple of posts up) says he's been running with one successfully for a while.
