First thing I bought for my K4 ..... its more than just stopping water flinging up .... I think it stops stones hitting the radiator too .....

£18 well spent IMO

I fitted a Pyramid one to mine the weekend I bought it , no idea if it is doing it`s job as I have ridden through one very bad winter on it and subsequent Welsh weather , going into my second winter now . All I know is that the bike has not missed a beat in the wet and I aint had to push it home yet .






I have AA cover just in case

3 miles lol, amature!
Try pushing a DT with a flat back tyre 15miles on new years eve.
I made it home, showered and down to the local pub to meet friends to a massive applause at 11.45pm, not a joke nor an exageration. We'd been out all day riding in a quarry I was exhausted before I started when the RAC told me I'd not get a recovery for a bike until the next day I had no choice but to push it to the nearest place I knew it would be safe been left overnight...

Amazing how sweaty and irritated you feel after about 300 yards , I pushed a seized TZR125 home once , my left hand was killing me as I had to keep the clutch pulled in all the way home .

I didn't push it 15 miles but did push a stolen 1989 cbr1000f (weighs about as much as a lorry ) about 4 miles with a flat back tyre a few years ago. It was uphill most of the way and gravel! Worst bit was trying to pick it up off of the floor and I just couldn't work out why it wouldn't roll, bloody thing was in gear (schoolboy I know)!
In the process I got arrested for stealing the bloody thing- last time I ever do my BF a favour!
