Radiator guard

Looking to buy a radiator guard for my 1000 xt.
Like the look of the R&G one's , what have you fitted !.

Thanks,
Ian

I had the R&G one on my Glee and I suppose it was better than no guard, but it felt a bit cheap and the paint was starting to suffer after only a few months. The Veek one looks to be the same wire mesh caught in a folded metal surround, although they're saying it's pressed aluminium, but have the 'where applicable' caveat.
Unless it's the stainless version that I've now spotted that has no pics.

Have a look at Cymarc's website. They make quality items

I fitted a Givi last year, no rattles but it’s attachment utilises a cable tie at the bottom (only) so it’s an easy install if a little cheap ‘n nasty. That said no flaky paint and it’s done the business repelling large insects and rocks (the holes are quite small)
I think you could probably do better for less money however.

I have just bought s cheap Chinese ones off Ebay for under £14. It fits okay and will do the job. Looks okay on too.
