DIY oil cooler grill.
Hi,
made a mesh grill for the oil cooler opennings yesterday. Bought some mesh from a car accessory shop and set about making it. Cut to rough shape.  Mould around opennings.  Trim plastic ducts by about 2mm/3mm to allow for thickness of mesh.  Then re-assemble.  Then put bike back together.  Finished. Hope you like. Regards Paul.

looks good. probably spent less that some, myself including for the ones pre-made. the black looks good too. have the silver in mine and really like the contrast. seeing your makes me consider painting it black.

repoe3, i bought one of the premade ones from phactory. i sanded it, primed it, and painted it black. it's been on for a month and is starting to turn silver. you may want to powder coat instead.

thanks scott, i was thinking that would be the case. perhaps a coating of the bed liner paint may hold up a bit better.

Mine looks the same. Its made from a paper-basket that I bought for $6, and have made 2 so far. Its black, and I've had mine on since the bike was almost new, with no fading.
There is enough material to make 3 more...so that puts it at around $2/screen. I think its powder coated too. -arbi
