Tony nitrous 0 Posted June 22, 2012 Wasnt keen on anything cable tied on,and didnt want slim and flimsy. I wanteda chunky solid look.Went with the "Radguard" brand on both my Busa and B-King.I have been told they wont flow enough airand will cook the motor.Wrong.20+ run's at the drags in an Australian heatwave,8 years use on 2 Busa's and a B-King,Stuck in city traffic jams in Summer,Temp is no different to a standard bike.
