Finally! Cox Racing group is going to be making some radiator guards for the 05-08 Superduke! They supplie almost all the AMA racing teams with their products, I've had one on every sportbike I've owned. Cheap insurance for your $400+ radiator! and they look trick! They are going to use my bike for R&D, they said it should take about 2 weeks!!! I'm not sure on all the colors(trying for orange) but I know there will black! I post some pics when I get the bike back! Check out their website(CoxRacingGroup.com) for pics of other bikes!

#3I was just thinking(really trying to up my post count) Cox would probably hook up the 950SM if they got some e-mails + they would need to borrow a 950SM(yours?) to get it done.

#6Mate - if there is still time - can you ask them to come up with a design solution that will also work for the SDR??? Or any SD running the 'under the bottom yoke steering Damper' for that matter.
I got a Radguard from Aussie and it fouled the steering damper so I couldn't use it ... The guard needs to sit very tight to the radiator curve - if it also covered the tanks at either end it would be perfect!
$80 is a great price by the way...

#7Unfortunatly, we dont have any R's around here, maybe you could take some close-up pics and e-mail them, they might be able to help you out. Maybe e-mail myself some also @ [email protected]. I had no idea that was a problem with the R. Thanks for the info! E-mail Andy @ [email protected]

#8I just got off the phone with Andy @ CoxRacing, He was wondering how much room is there between the radiator and the dampner? He told me the guards are contured to the radiator and they will be about a 1/4" thick.

#13LOL! You're worse than me...nearly.
Piece of cardboard to use as a template...lay cardboard of the mesh and trace around it. Cut to shape.
I utilise a soft double sided foam to cushion the mesh from the radiator to eliminate and chances of ribbing which could lead to a leak.
I attach the guard with cable/zip ties.
Job takes 20mins start to finish....30mins if you spray paint the mesh black like I do.

#34I finally got some pics of the radiator guard on my bike. I ended up getting the Titanium, it looks black at different angles, It was a little more noticable than the Black. I love it!!! I posted a couple pics in the Photo Gallery under "Accessories".

#38EVER AMA team uses Cox Racing guards besides Yoshimura Suzuki. I was just posting this info about these guards to help out the fellow SuperDuke owners, and all Ive seem to get is a bunch of adittude like im trying to rip people off??? I mean you own a $14,000 bike and your bitching about a $80 piece? Thank God Joe you have a friend that can build it for ya. Not everyone has friends that can build stuff for them. If you dont like the guards dont buy one, Simple. But please dont sit here and try and make me or Cox Racing look like a thief. Nobdy makes fun of you because your an "Okie".
