Another superb vid Andy... I have a Versys 1000 GT model 2017 and enjoy owning/riding it very much. Makes perfect sense to cover exposed and vulnerable radiators against damage as you have done here. I too fitted an R&G Rad Protector and am so pleased with the level of protection it offers along with the quality and ease of installation. Peace of mind and a must have accessory for Liquid cooled bikes eh.
SW-Motech is the supplier of this part for kawasaki, if you buy it from your kawasaki dealer, the part has the kawasaki logo, otherwise there is SW-Motech logo.

Thanks Mark. Your right, radiator cover works great i`m happy with it. Ride safe.....and of course enjoy your Versys
hmm, why did they choose torx over the other type of fasteners already used on the bike?
Anymore great videos on Versys 1000 in the future?
Yes 🙂
This looks identical to the SW-MOTECH radiator guard and its cheaper. I wonder if I should get this one instead.

What holds the other side of the top of the radiator? Does it just slide onto the little nub?
There are two bolts on the top and one on the bottom, the same bolts fix the whole radiator to the frame.
What is it part number?
