Aero Bobbins and Cooler Guard - Tyke57nz_imp - 01-10-2014
Hi
My wife kindly bought me some accessories for Xmas so my machine now has an Oil Cooler Guard from RG-Racing in the UK as we do get a bit of gravel here in NZ and it made sense to; also bought me a set of their Engine Protection Bobbins.
Guard popped straight on without any drama but the Bobbins had a problem with the spacers supplied as there was too much of an air gap (IMHO) between the Engine and new plates with the supplied spacers. I sent an enquiry to RG but am still awaiting an answer, probably the time of year.
As I wanted them fitted I made some up on the lathe to suit the gap and have them fitted, visually they look OK and hopefully they will never be used.

Hmmm, some gravel roads where I am headed as well. Glad to hear the Oil Cooler Guard was a good fit.

Just shows though that even though the items are supposed to fit straight out of the box, it always pays to check.

Hey Tyke - you're a lucky man to have a wife that buys you motorcycle accessories ... you're obviously doing something right. The parts look good on your bike.
Cheers
