Final alternative design

Hopefully will post the alternative design tmoz - the favourite one is a sod to make so I`ll post the alternative (similar to one of the first) and see if anyone can help me make up my mind!

 

[Mark Hooton]

just gotta mirror the flange opening...........

So, dead happy with final design (although a pig to make) all I have to do is change it so that the flnages open on the opposite side

Sounds good to me Then, how about designing some frame plugs to fill in all the holes on our bikes?

I`ve put the glass down long enough to say thank you - not only did I design them to offer some protection but i also wanted them to look like a million dollars and I think I`ve managed to get to the thick end of ten bucks

Ayup mark, Can I ask the area in the centre of the rad covers where the design leaves a area unprotected would it be big enough to let a stone impact the rad !

Morning ding dong and I hope my light hearted drunken flippancy was taken in the jovial tone it was meant!

Anyway, with a clear head, you have a valid point of course. It has occurred to me but I have been very conscious of restricting airflow and to assuage this concern I've designed the protector with 'flaps' which fold out away from the radiator itself thereby moving the material away from the area which needs cooling whilst still offering protection. With the material which I couldn't 'move away' from the cooling surface I have put as many holes in it as possible. Hence the 'gap'

So, the protector is a balance between offering some protection against airborne stuff and cooling efficiency which, I think, I have got about right.

Most radiator protectors are flat against the radiators themselves, I think this is a disadvantage but its done for cheapness I am sure and these tend to unnecessarily restrict airflow.

Hope this answers your question mate!

Thank you for the kind words - well, I am at work today (and really, its glorious weather and I should be out on my LC............) setting up the laser so that I can start making them on Monday - if all goes well I should be able to start posting out next week

i`ve also got to find the time to set it all up on the ecommerce site, hoping to do that tomorrow pal.

Hope this helps............
