    Thanks Jim, I have just done this on mine and your instructions were great. Just one thing I did different was to use a straight edge on the top and bottom of the mesh to get a cleaner bend and it helps seat it better while you use the flathead to shape the sides.

    Could you have used 6 black zip ties instead of adhesive? Looks great.

      You could, but you'd see them if you looked hard enough. I didn't want that.

    What are those foot control extenders? I want a pair.

      They are made by a company called Free Spirits, they offer 60mm, 80mm, and 100mm variants that all come with a black shift rod. I have the 80mm version, I'm 5'11" and absolutely love them!

    How has the silicone held up over time?

      So far I have noticed no issues with it. Still running the same setup today.

    What’s the measurement for the screen for radiator cover

    • @Jimbobbington
      @Jimbobbington  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You'd probably be safe starting with something about 12" x 18". I think the piece I ordered off Amazon was like 4' x2' and it was plenty for 4 of these

    Cool tip! Does it run any hotter with the mesh or about the same?

    • @Jimbobbington

      Good question, funny thing, they removed the ability to see engine temp on the 2021 model, so I have no idea lol. It'll be on the dyno next week, I'll see if they have any concerns

  • @douglaz2053
    @douglaz2053 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    So since doing this, does the bike run hotter, are there any other side effects?

    • @Jimbobbington
      @Jimbobbington  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have had no issues. The 2021 model does not have a temp gauge, but it was tuned on the dyno for 4 hours with this guard and my shop had no concerns.

      I actually have enough aluminum left for 2 more bikes, but you'd need to cut it and apply it yourself. If be happy to let you have one if you are nearby in Colorado!
