Recently saw a highly customized R100 at the Centennial BMW Rally in Monterey, CA.
Bike had a nice tight fitting perforated metal plate mounted in front of the soft radiator fins.
My "naked" 1990 K75RT sports an oversized K1100 radiator without any form of shroud. Radiator works well but the fins get dinged by airborne chunks of rock and metal. Would like to install a protection plate to avoid a puncture.
Any suggestions or details on how you did a similar modification most welcome.
Thanks!
