First off, thanks to all who purchased radiator guards from me over the last 8 months. It gives me great pleasure knowing that all of you avoided the headache and chore of having to replace an entire radiator at Yamaha's ridiculous price.
With that being said I am heading in a different direction with this business. In order to keep up with demand and costs of producing these, I will be releasing a new upgraded version of the current guard for the FZ1. Effective Nov 1, 2010 (end of this week) every guard will be Powder Coated for a better all around durable sealed professional finish in both black and gold colors. I have also upgraded the stainless steel hardware again to match the oem, side cover edging will now be included with every guard, Each screen is laser cut for better fitment, mounting holes will be marked to ease installation along with a video reference for installing.
Of coarse adding these improvements comes at a price, especially the powder coating and cutting service. The current guard is still available at 49.99 plus shipping and will be discontinued when they are gone. I have an inventory of 9 left in your choice of black or gold at this price.
The new price on the upgraded version will be $79.99 plus shipping. I know this sounds like a hefty increase however the powder coating alone moves this product in the direction it needs to go to stay competitive. In the scheme of things, it still out weighs the cost of a radiator repair or worse case a $400+ radiator and all the down time associated with it, not to mention the safety issues of having a radiator leak to your rear wheel unnoticed. Any questions or concerns feel free to PM me.
