Has anyone bought one of these? The picture shows an oil cooler cover rather than a radiator cover?

Cheers

Not got one myself. Would have, but none of the covers fit a curvy S model. Different rad fittings to a naked curvy or both pointy models. Suppose it could be made to fit. :o

I 'made' one fit mine Pete.

A bit of hacking off and it'll go on an 'S' rad. You'll not see the dodgy join behind the fairing anyway. :D

Yes Haggis, I've learned to never use absolutes on here. :o

Somebody, somewhere, has made the impossible fit. :cool:

To be honest I bought my naked curvy for £450 back in late July, had been in the floods up here and stolen/recovered with minor damage, wasn't a planned purchase, I'd not been on a bike for 25 years - but the sun was shining and I had the money laid around :D

So looking to tidy it up. Radiator cover looks like a good place to start, followed by a bellypan and so on.

Remember, hammers come in 3 grades; fine, medium and coarse.

It will fit :p

Has it arrived and does it look good?

Arrived the other day, looks alright. The surface finish is o.k but it did come with a small dent in it. Also it needs about half an hours work with a file to tidy the edges up as they haven't bothered to remove the guillotene marks or anything... still for £15 you can't complain i guess!

Not so bad. Just ordered one, along with a bellypan and hugger. Looks like I've created some work for myself when I get home from the US :-)

Key it up with some very fine sand paper or pumice powder or something...
