mate after all the messing about trying to make one it'll probably be cheaper to buy one

but then again fairplay for wanting to be different

Hi Mal, do a search in E-Bay shops for "Scrapes Shop", he got loads of bike accessories/bits, thats where I got my rad cover from, cant see one listed at the moment but give him a email and ask him, if he got one let me know what postage he wants as it may be cheaper for me to collect it and post it for you.
If you cant find him let me know & Ill ask him.

Mine came with the Beowulf oil cooler and radiator grilles on it (2nd hand). They look nice on a sunny day (black bike so they stand out well) but don't add much. The oil cooler grille has suffered with muck off the road and has corroded a bit around the bolt. Bike has only done about 4500 miles. The grille itself is alright and the rad grille is all fine.

I wouldn't bother putting them on the bike myself though, but they're nice enough to not bother taking off.

Beowulf oil cooler and radiator grilles here and no problems, quality kit, looks great, had them both for £35 from the NEC.
