RandyN Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Found this on Amazon for $57 and it stated it fit FZ09 MT09 2017 2018 2019 XSR900 2016 2017 2018 Tracer 900. So I looked up the part numbers for all of those bikes radiators and they were the same part (2PP-12461-00-00). Also, the 2017 FJ09 is same radiator so it should fit that as well. I thought I’d give it a shot, could always send it back. It fit perfectly! Came in a decent cardboard box with bubble wrap and padding to protect it. Pretty thick aluminum sheet that is bent and cut to fit around mounts. I'm sure it would take a huge rock to get past it. Hexagonal holes that look like they should flow air just fine. Looks like black powder coating which seems pretty tough. I did put a crescent wrench on it to bend ends in a hair so it fit tighter against radiator mounting points. Didn’t scratch it at all. In photos, first one is the damage on my radiator from 10,000 miles of riding. Got lucky that the radiator didn’t get punctured from the rock that hit at the top. Put a nice dent in it. All the other white spots in photo are small paint chips from gravel. Roads in NC, TN, and GA have a good amount of small loose gravel on them. Second photo is of the guard alone with the small brackets from the bike next to it. These mount on the outside of guard and is where the plastic push pin goes that holds side plastics in place. Stock bolts in photo fit fine, length was adequate. Third photo is on bike without plastics in place yet. Very easy install I should have done a long time ago. Highly recommend this add-on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N37TLK1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Noice! Sadly, Amazon does not ship a lot of its stuff to Australia, which is pretty frustrating.

RandyN Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Sorry about not posting the year. The 900 GT has only been in the States for 1 year. 2109. It may look like Evo-Tech, but it's not, I've never seen one though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

countersteer Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks. I should have read the post rather than just looking at the pictures. Some things never change. When I was 18, I got Playboy only because the articles were so good. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodman Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Installed mine today. I hope it doesn't affect the cooling in the summer. Edited October 6, 2019 by Rodman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmark101 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Looks like a nice guard. Since you guys say it is a quality piece I placed an order for one. 👍 There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession.

rlambke19 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It appears to be a blatant copy of the EvoTech rad guard (I have one). I feel that EvoTech is a solid company that does great work and produces quality stuff for our bikes. I will personally continue to support them, but totally understand why people would buy this instead as it’s a great design, mounts securely (unlike the real cheapies that use zip ties) and the price is right. Looks like a good find. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
