cwtart Posted January 15, 2020 #1 Posted January 15, 2020 I have been looking at chrome radiator covers for my 2008 RSV. But I am wondering how much air flow these things block. I think they look great but if the air flow is reduced through the radiator because of the cover it may not be a good idea. Any experience with these covers? Any particular brand better than others? Fit, Look, etc.?
XV1100SE Posted January 16, 2020 #3 Posted January 16, 2020 I have one on my '09...pretty much from the first year I had the bike (2010). Never had any issues with heat. Don't know if it has protected the rad from stones but 96,000km and no issues.
RedRider Posted January 17, 2020 #4 Posted January 17, 2020 I have one on my 2000 (installed 2002). Have 175k-ish miles without issue. It isn't a problem and will provide protection. RR
cecdoo Posted January 18, 2020 #5 Posted January 18, 2020 Have one on every Venture I have owned, never any issues with overheating. Got mine on ebay, simple install and has held up well. Craig
