- I have been looking for an oil radiator guard that fits with an installed engine guard and found this one from Motea in Germany.

Ah wonderful Martin, much appreciated. Cheers
Happy to be of some help👍
Hello Martin,the Radiator Guard looks very smart on the bike,protects it from stones and adds style.
thank you very much, I had wanted to buy it for my 2020 sport glide for a long time, but I didn't know what it would look like ... I just bought it, I can't wait for it to arrive ... I hope the assembly goes well.
Hi Gabriele, you will have no trouble with the install other than the top bolt can be a little tricky. It may be worth turning the top hole in the guard into a slot so you dont have to take the top bolt out just loosen it. Just a thought.
@@My_bike_and_me thanks, we'll see how it will be ... anyway a nice idea ...
@@My_bike_and_me Hi, I forgot to tell you that the piece has arrived and I assembled it: it's wonderful!!! Thank you!!! ❤
@@gabrielesportglide8019 Hello Gabriele, really pleased you like it👍. Its so nice when a video is of help. You made my day, thanks Martin👍
I got mine to fit perfectly by taking the stock radiator surround off. Then I drilled two new holes centred (the holes that came with it weren't believe it or not) and close to the back edge of the guard. Then it fit perfectly... I blocked the old holes with two rubber blanking grommets. Since you can't see them it doesn't matter but the blanking grommets looks professional anyway.
So doing what I said meant the top mount sat flush with no stress on the plastic + the sides of the chin spoiler followed the frame better.
good solution, looks great doesn't it
Great video! ✌🏻 I got the 2019 SG.
That plastic guard protects some part of radiator.
There are certain stainless steel covers made specifically just for the radiator size which protect better.
I ordered both radiator metal cover protection and the plastic cover.
The radiator metal cover protects more, the big plastic cover is more of a design to cover that front part.
I ordered another plastic cover model (it's longer and at the bottom is thinner).
I bought the bike with a crash bar installed which is not an issue to fit the plastic cover, but the horn is. The plastic cover I ordered doesnt fit right at the top because the horn is too outside. I will have to cut a part of the plastic cover and tighten it from the crash bar.
I have been looking to replace the stock horn as it's an embarrassment. Like the idea of the steel rad cover 👍
Nice. I thought about the same thing for my sport glide.
Great video ! explication super simple ! merci
Thank you👍
Wasn't sure about the guard, but it actually looks pretty good.. Something I might do myself...but next things on my upgrade list are Memphis Shades handguards, heated grips, rear guards and maybe a Mustang solo seat...(Just did 2217mile roadtrip and stock seat wasn't bad...but new seat is the last upgrade I think) Thanks for the upload..
When I bought the bike I didn't think there was much I wanted to change. 13 mods later and Im still finding things I want to change. No end to it but thats what Harleys are about, personalisation 👍 Ride safe
Ali express £30 just got it. Really nice bit of kit
👍
Got mine for £17 . Fantastic quality
Hi Martin, I want to tell you something about your protection plastic. You put the lower bracket the wrong way. The holes to mount the plastic must point to the back, now your protection plastic is not tight to the frame, if you turn the bracket the plastic will be more tight to the frame. If you want I show you a picture of mine. Greetings from Belgium.
Oh ok ?? send me pictures on instagram my_bike_and_me1200t
I just had a close look at mine and you are spot on correct 🤷🏻♂. I never noticed. A little job to do on this rainy Saturday morning. Thank you for taking the time to comment👍👍
Hi Martin. Please can you tell me what make of T bar and torx set you using . Thanks
Hi, the Torx set is www.amazon.co.uk/LEXIVON-Socket-Premium-Alloy-13-Piece/dp/B07M9ZF35W/ref=sr_1_5?crid=106NDSBHC3ZRG&keywords=torx+socket+set&qid=1704880744&sprefix=torx%2Caps%2C72&sr=8-5 and the tee bar 1/4 inch socket set is over 50 years old as it was part of my apprentice tool kit. I think it is Draper but its a long time ago so may be mistaken
Thank you Martin fantastic
Wow that Rad guard look the dogs danglies .
yeh, really adds a little something to the bike👍
Hi . I got my new glide pick it up soon . Just wanted say thank you for inspiring me to mod mine up 👍
Hi Martin, it the top part secured behind or in front of the engine guard? Cheers
Hello Andrew, I fitted mine behind the engine guard mate
How did it fit with the crash bars mate? I’ve got crash bar on mine from Poland
no issue at all. The top nut a bit fiddly but otherwise no issues
According to the company,no, they don’t fit with crash bars they sell
Like that look! , BTW, Is that fender extension the Pyramid brand ?
cheers Paul, yep it's from Pyramid Plastics. I did a video on it, cost about £22.00
@@My_bike_and_me Great ! I should have scrolled through your posts, My wife has a 2020 Sport Glide, since putting an actual windshield on it we've noticed it draws up a lot of road debris from the short front fender, Thanks Again , Keep up the Great Work !
@@paulreed1008 Just glad to be of some help. The extended fender defiantly helps but I did still notice some road dirt splashed up on the bottom of the rad so thats why I fitted the guard. I really like the look of it though. Ride safe

Hi Martin,have had a difficult few months,still recovering and in remission,so that’s good,but radiotherapy really took its toll.Also due to vascular surgery I struggle with even the most simple of tasks.My partner’s health is deteriorating progressively,so it’s not been easy.I still try and watch your channels as much as I can,when time allows.Keep it up mate,you have a loyal following.Hope you and all the family is keeping well.🙏🏼P.S Harley is looking mean.👊🏼
Hello Mr G, been thinking of you mate so good to hear from you. We are all ok. Clearly not easy times for you. just take it easy and take it a day at a time
@@My_bike_and_me Thanks Martin,much appreciated.Good to hear you are all ok.It’s not an easy time and I am taking one day at a time.Didn’t want you to think I had unsubscribed or had lost interest,just been difficult lately.👍🏼
