I don't like the look of coolant pi$$ing out of my rad!

I used a Beowulf one that was easy to fit and continues to be lovely.

The damage to the fins on the rad from just simple rides was startling, hence the cover.

If there were plain ones, i'd go for one, but they all seem to have a big, cheesy logo on the front.

http://www.rg-racing.com/browsebike/...L0)/RAD0136BK/ I'm sure you could even pop the the little R&G emblem off if you wanted.

There's plenty of places that will knock you up a plain heavy duty mesh rad guard.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-SV-65...lUqsdX&vxp=mtr Even if you just get hold of some honeycomb mesh like that and bend it so you can stick screws through the side of it into the rad. Won't even really be noticeable but will provide decent protection to the fins.

This isn't my radiator cover but it's the exact same colour and design as the one I've got provides decent protection and is just simple with no logos on
