I see I'm not the only one who spends hours in the shed!! LOL
Looks excellent mate, that rubber edging looks familiar!!
Our supplier will catch on soon and double the price, they all get greedy in the end.

ahem.... from work ooer :biggrin it's from a filter we use on something expensive :devious
The mesh i used on the oil cooler and side panels is steel mesh from B&Q and the undercoated and sprayed black satin same as bellypan :thumbup
Not sure if the perforations on the radiator mesh are big enough tho' :dunno if the bike starts getting too hot i'll change it for the ally or steel mesh from B&Q as the other bits are :thumbup

Always worth having a go yourself.
Only reason I'm selling them is for those who can't.
Not everyone can do everything, for example - I can make anything out of metal to very accurate measurements but give me the same job to do with wood and I'll make the biggest pile of sawdust you've seen for eons.
Everyone to their own I say.

Mick, if you, or anyone else, intend copying these and your rads are the same size as the 2000 model, the dimensions for the grills are :-
210mm X 158mm cut size...then assuming you use the same rubber trim, this will make the finished measurements 214mm X 162mm which is a nice snug fit :thumbup

Not far from you!
Just done mine today too..wrapped mine round and tied them to the fan brackets with wire ties. The one for the oil cooler and seat unit I used evo sealant..
looks good mate, is that aluminium mesh or steel you have used over the oil cooler? I wondered if aluminium mesh would be strong enough to fold like that without breaking of snapping under vibration later on?

If you get some, take care as the edges are very sharp as I found out
here's what it looks like all back together...
