Radiator Guard

Anyone have advice as to whether it's worthwhile fitting a radiator guard, not from an aesthetic perspective but from a protective perspective?

it's always worth fitting a radiator guard, you never know what's going to get thrown at it. A radiator for a 1098 is something like £800. I'd expect a Supersport one to cost much the same.

Thanks.
For those in the USA, we are awaiting on the first batch of the radiator guards to come in from England from R&G Racing.

They should be here in a weeks time.

New designs usually are. It could also be because it's for a Duc. Parts for Ducs are often marked up a bit more than Japanese bikes.
I'd like to see the OEM fitted on an SS...from one of our members (I don't know of anyone who has added one yet). I was contemplating it, but thought better of it...for now.
Here are some pics...not the greatest...had my dealer install before I got the bike

Evotech also make one but they are out of stock at present. Maybe look at the Ducati guard. Is the oil cooler guard necessary?

My white S came with one of those, or something very like it, on it.

Has anyone fitted their own radiator guard yet? Looks like the fairings have to come off to fit it. I'm just deciding whether to fit my Evotech guard myself or let the shop do it at the first service.
I have the ducati one that the dealer put on when i got the bike. It didnt come with the oil cooler guard though, which is annoying since its even lower on the bike. But the fairing seems to have guards on it anyway

The fairing needs to be removed.

The oil cooler seems to have enough of a protective grille in front of it as standard.
