Your "modern pig," AKA the Yamaha Ténéré 700, is water-cooled like any modern engine. That makes the radiator a vulnerable part of the bike. You'll be stuck if a rock or branch pierces the radiator.
 
These simple radiator guards fit like original factory equipment using the existing mountings and require no modification.
 
The matrix is pierced with hexagonal holes to optimize airflow while providing maximum protection from road debris. The guard is CNC machined from aircraft-quality aluminum and finished in a durable black powder coating.
