Guys, I've posted this before somewhere. I always used black fiberglass screen material sold in any hardware store (falconcop was on the right track) for all my cars and bikes. I did this on the busa at 0 miles as well. The busa requires removing the side and front fairings. The metal meshes on some bikes, like the one on our oil cooler, also doesn't help without the screen. On this one, just pop it out carefully and cut the screen to size on the bottom, but allow 1-1/2 inches on top so the plastic bar will lock it (I left it to size the first time, and the rocks rolled inside, so I had to redo it). ON the radiator, I attached it to both radiator outlets and the mounting points. ALso the plastic bracket will secure it. I used thin wire and twisted it like safety wire to secure it. My radiator has zero damage, same as my cars and other bikes. I hope this helps. I wish I had a digital camera to show you my bike, but it looks like factory, in fact, on the busa you need a flash light even in daylight to see the screen. I just brush off any bugs with a toothbrush after a trip, and the radiator still looks like new.
