    Aluminum Radiator Grills 250r

    I just made these to replace the stock ugly black ones which were hiding to much of the chrome. What do you guys think, red or silver?

    I made some for mine also. I did not like the way the factory ones looked like they were distortedfrom heat I guess. I cut them from diamond mesh aluminum and polished them. I used stainless safety wire to attach them... Oh yea....I think go with the silver.. Silver stands out better on a red bike.

    I really like the red. The crome looks un-finished.

    The red isn't suposed to match, its that new 2 part anodized look paint. It matches my billet thumb throttle.

    I think the silver looks good. Chrome would be sweet!

    NEITHER, unless ya weld or attach some frame around the mesh. CAN't stand unfinished, CUT, edges IMO.

    Cut up your black plastic stock radiator frame, and attach the mesh to the back of it maybe...
