Radiator Cover 99 CT

[mrgeoff]

Hey, is the Radiator on a 99 CT the same as a C/Interstate...??? Wanting to buy a Stainless steel cover for my 99CT and the description states the cover fits a 1500c/interstate...!!! should I expect it to be the same mounting size...???

Yes, there all the same size. I got one like this, real nice and cheaper.

i've got that one also, but you have to be very careful cleaning it.  The metal is very thin.  Above the F in the F6, those pointy parts of the headress are very sharp.

Thanks Hook/Flash...I'll check it out...!!!

I saw this one on Ebay, and I don't have it so i can't speak to quality (seller says it's stainless), but the design is awesome and looks familiar somehow

Nice find Harry ! I haven't seen that one before. Must be made in Europe. I might have to spring for that one.

yup I got close to buying that but I have a few other more urgent things to spend my bike dollars ATM

[Gabriel]

I just put this one on last week;

[Harryc]

Looks good Gabriel. Did you leave the original screen/guard on or take it of?

[Gabriel]

I started to mention that I left the original one on but I thought no one would be interested in that, well I took it off sanded and repainted it and put both back on.
This grill is polished stainless steel and I paid 21 bucks for it.
Note; Watch out for those little slip-on clip nuts that the screws go into, two of mine fell off and I had to find them (never fun), also the original screws are long enough to accommodate both screens.
I left the original one on because the stainless grill is completely flat without rolled edges, it would probably beer can all the time if installed alone?

[Harryc]

Thanks for the info.

[Leathel]

That looks better on the bike than I expected Gabriel, certainly looks better than on the ebay pages and those ones are well priced too

 but I think I will save a little more as I like the second one I posted a little more..... shame its not the same price as yours was as I would get it now

I'm partial to these radiator grills.

Darryl's are made from stainless.  The Rattlebars ones were chrome, but no longer available.  I have one of each.

[rhinor61]

I too like the 9 bars grill that Daryl builds. Both look great over stock.

But $198 3-4 weeks lead time vs $23 / 5 days hmmm.
tough one.

[Bighead]

Hand made vs stamped out in China not much of a Hmmm to me
Been to Daryls shop and spent many hours talking with him,he is a good dude just scratching out a living one part at a time.

Finally got the bike out in the sunlight and took this pic of the grill.

Hi Harry, for some reason that link sends me to "get started with Google photos". Any chance you could photobucket it ?

[Harryc]

Sure, here you go ... very tough to photograph without shadows...it's shiny . I'll have to wait for lower light.

I really like it.  I should have pounced on one before they sold out. Hopefully they'll make more.
