    No, sorry pal. Don't know anyone with them fitted either.

    Think the main ones tend to be r&g and evotech.

    Hopefully someone will be along soon tho...

    I'm gonna try em... well impressed with the supposed "Perfect Fit"
    yes I've done Evotech and R&G on previous bikes.... at treble the price...
    nothing wrong with them and I don't usually do "its cheap" for the sake of it but in this case for these items I always thought they were a little overpriced...

    I'll be interested to see how you get on with these as I'm thinking about some for my Tiger 955i.

    As tempting as they are most people that have them say that the engine runs hotter so i have always avoided them.

    Interesting you should say that DM, I fashioned a big front fender extender out of a left-over Ducati rear mudguard so as to reduce the possibility of damaging the rads, without reducing the air flow to them.

    Just heard back from them and they don't do a set for the Tiger, so that makes things dead simple for me.

    I have the Evotech ones fitted to mine and it does run slightly warmer. But 5000 miles in now with no overheat issues.

    Well I got em and fitted albeit with cable ties (wires and ties supplied) and well impressed at the mm exact fit
    So would recommend (if he makes for your bike)
    And it's no dig at the big make names but for £30 it's a bargain

    Looks good, plus you're helping a fellow biker fund his racing. :)

    ill probably change the ties to wire ones but was eager to see how well they fitted.....
    for the money (you'll pay more than double for Big Named second hand ones) cant complain...

    I recon the plastic ties are safer as wire could chafe :D

    Agree but they can stretch with the heat.... especially on the oil rad ?
    if the wire is routed through the fins it should be ok.... but fiddly to fit...
