Found this on Ebay out of the UK. Link

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.

Be interested to see whether enough air can penetrate the grille, in hot climates your Tbird could turn HD and burn.

Wow..I kind of like that. I wonder if it would look out of place on my blacked out Bird. I still have some shiny bits here and there, but not a lot.

I'm in a hot climate but it's a dry heat! Actually, it should do just fine as you're not actually restricting flow to the radiator.

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.

John, I wouldn't mind getting a copy of that Tbird logo if you're willing to share! I want to make up some decals for the side covers.

cheers

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.

Now that's AWESOME! I definitely see one of these in the future for my bike. Ha Ha...and I thought there was a "limited supply" of aftermarket stuff for the Bird...
