Its when you slow down and there's lack of airflow over the motor that it matters, and then it radiates out.

Copy. And thanks for explaining to me the underlying engineering behind an oil cooler. Oil coolers are “new” to me.

R&G Racing told me their guard will not impact oil cooling but will provide significant protection to prevent physical damage. They claim they took lessons learned from the track and applied them to the Street. They also claim to be the market leader for protecting air cooled motorcycles.

Here are the benefits they claim I will enjoy from my recently installed guard and their product differentiators:

-Lightweight aluminum mesh surrounded by a seamless frame
-Provides impact protection from stones & other debris
-Prevents bugs & debris from getting clogged in cooling fins
-Permits maximum airflow for efficient cooling performance
-Reduces the risk of a puncture which can cause a dangerous oil leak & possible engine damage
-Hard anodized for improved durability & corrosion resistance
-Simple to mount utilizing OEM mounts without modifications
-Available in black, titanium, dark blue, light blue, or red
