That's the first thing I did to mine.I used a piece of black screen leftover from a Cox Radiator screen,cut it to fit inside the mounting brackets. | ||

Good idea! I will be doing the same. Who can make the most stylish screen for the oil cooler? | ||

Here's mine. It's fashioned from the grid used at the bottom of a paint pan, which has the right angle already.  When I took a rock in the shoulder a few weeks ago, I was glad that I always wear leathers on the freeway. It also reminded me why I made and installed the oil cooler guard in the first place, because a customer had once told me of taking a rock in his radiator (not a Buell) and losing his coolant while far from home. To that end, I also increased the size of the front fender / mudguard by fashioning an extender from another 1125 guard:  It adds a LOT of coverage over the stocker. |
