Just fitted the Evotech guard (under the rad). Lovely bit of kit, it gets rid of that ugly plastic cover, offers good protection, and smooths out the lines from the bottom of the rad down to the sump guard a treat.
I had the full set on my DVT, oil cooler/radiator/cylinder guard. They’re beautifully made and look good. But after 18 months I never noticed any impacts on the cylinder or oil cooler. So on my new DVT I’ve ordered just the main radiator guard.
Yes, really well made. For me it's not so much about the protection, It just tidies up that part of the bike and gets rid of the ugly plastic cover.
Have the same and your right it finishes it off correctly, I also powder coated my sump bash plate thing in gloss black.
Evotech do make some excellent products, even if a bit on the expensive side. I have fitted the range of three, both the oil & radiator guards as well as the engine guard now, having recently been released, which meant at the time I was looking for them for the 1260, this part wasn't available, so they couldn't be bought as a pack, a potential saving of quite a considerable amount over buying them individually. That said, the engine guard definitely does tidy up and streamline the lower front end; no-end.... One area of the bike, that I really have always disliked, now resolved.
Previous owner of my DVT powder coated the silver belly pan to match the black cylinder head guard which looks great. So good in fact that this winter I'll be having the pillion pegs and centre stand bracket (ally) also coated black to match.
The evotech is a really nice fit but the silver rad guard looks outa place now, spray it with some black heat paint ?
I currently have the Evotech radiator/oil cooler/cylinder guards on my DVT. But I'm thinking of trading the bike in for a 1260. Does anyone know if the guards from the DVT will fit on the 1260?
Never really noticed, until you pointed it out just how much the brake pedal stands out, now that’s all I’m seeing!!
Sorry my bike lives in my kitchen so I get to look it more than most and tend to notice stuff like that!
Hi just ordered these parts for my 1260, if you go onto the evotech site you will see the cylinder guard is a different part number, so possibly may not fit.
