Brand new and still clean! That won't last long!

The very first ride I found out why water cooled dirt bikes need radiator guards. I fell and broke the left side radiator. I had to send it out for repair (Myler's radiators - great job!) and then I bought Flatland Racing's guards.

Right side radiator guard.

The second or third ride I fell and the stock insert broke out of the pipe! Piece of crap! So I replaced it with the insert from Pro Moto Billet. Looks great and still meets noise ratings (92 dB).

Another fall bent the stock handle bars, so they've been replaced with Renthals. Also added Acerbis hand guards.

Right side. Still looks almost new after almost 300 miles.
