450 rad guards....meca?

[fastisbetter]

Anyone fitted rad guards on their 450fsr? Im having a hard time finding anything that looks like it will hold up to a crash. I really want the meca systems cage but seems they are only available for 2strokes. WTF? Do the 2strokes have different rads. The meca's are by far the best looking guards as well, embossed with the GG logo.

Ebay

There is a set on eBay, seen them on there for a while. CRD, supposed to be good and the set on eBay seem like a great deal

Dont but the CRD's. They are uselsess. They wont hold up for a crash.

I think one of the radiators is a bit wider on the 450 to accommodate for the cooling fan. You might need to use some washers and longer bolts. I have Mecasystem rad bracers on the 300. I can make a few measurements in a day or two, the 450 is at a friends rigth now.

These are really good, so long as your radiators are straight to begin with. http://www.mainjet.com.au/product_i...id=63&osCsid=3bac171600127a287ed41ec9bcb788d9

Cooling fan? I dont have one. Measurements would be great

Good to know, I was under the impression that they were sturdy.

I will be buying a pair of Rad Guards soon, scratch CRD off of the list.

Thanks

I need to know too. The '05's are tweaked up a bit, so I better get'em on the '10 while everything's still straight.

I cant help but wonder if there is another brand that uses the same rads, something tells me I read somewhere that ktms are the same

 

[fastisbetter]

Now this is bugging me, I found a couple of brands that say ---FITS ALL 2-STROKE (Except 125) AND 4-STROKE MODELS 2001-2011

Well, the drill pattern would be the same, only length of brace tubes would differ. Either this kit has different sets of tubes, or some kind of spacers for the wider radiator on 450. OR, I am totally mistaken, and rads are the same

 

[fastisbetter]

I just called gofasters because they have the scorpion rad frames listed as fitting the four strokes, turns out that they don't Apparently the rads are longer, top to bottom, on the 450's. I did find a nice set of polished rads on ebay for around $200. Looks like the way to go as I cant find frames and I fall over alot
