I wasn't really recommending for or against the mod. Just pointing out that if not being black was your only concern you might want to take another look at the after pic.

I like the look, but my DD runs pretty hot in the Summer and I don't have a big problem with trash in the radiator (just the occasional leaf or bug). I'd hate to introduce even the slightest restriction just for looks.

I don't have that problem with stuff in my bumper but if I did I would take the bumper off and fasten it from the back to keep it recessed.

I understand that it is a necessity for some ppl and, if I were going to install one, I'd give this particular grille consideration (probably with Baer's recessed mod). I'm not trying to discourage anyone from installing a grille, it's just not for me.

Ref: Pic 2... It looks like someone pulled you out from under the front of the car and you're in a pool of dry blood and missing your left leg LOL!!!

But seriously, thanks for sharing. Hmmm, $439 is a little more than what I was hoping to pay. I'm gonna try a cheaper method.

Ah, you're bike crazy too... Many years ago, I crashed an RGV250 on the very first day I got it while doing a u-turn. When you switch from a 4 stroke to a 2 stroke, you just don't expect to lose all that low-end torque. And when you come out from a slow u-turn and you're not in the powerband, bad things happen. It was bye bye Lucky Strike livery on Day 1 LOL!!!
