Question Re. Radiator Protectors

[The Spaceman_imp]

What type of roads do you plan to ride on?

I ride on pavement only, and have never dinged a radiator or oil cooler in 40 years. But, if were planning a trip to Alaska or riding on lots of dirt or gravel roads, I'd consider a guard.

I'll be riding almost entirely on sealed roads, maybe a couple of sections of gravel but just about the entire thing sealed.

If you like the looks of the guard, go for it. But unless the roads in Oz are a lot different than here, I'd say the chances of your cooler/radiator getting holed on pavement are very slim.
