An EP Radiator Guard protects the Suzuki V-Strom 800 RE radiator from damage while allowing cooling air to pass through. The radiator's delicate cooling fins easily bend, and misaligned fins can restrict cooling air, which can lead to overheating. The radiator's internal waterways are very prone to being holed by stones, debris etc; all usually picked up and flung directly into the radiator from the front tyre or other traffic. Leaking coolant will make the V-Strom 800 RE inoperable because of overheating, which can result in engine damage.
