Thumbs up Force Radiator Guards

Hey guys just wanted to let you know that I ordered some radiator guards from Force from the land down under thanks to Steve (Speedy Maniac).

I have been on the hunt for guards for my 07. These guards are high quality and they have 3 cross braces for added impact protection on each side, plus a back brace. I ordered them last week and they came in today so I installed them. A bit of a pain but I am now protected.

I think we need a dealer here in the states that carries this line being as how there are not many guards out there for the 07's.

I will post the pictures later.

Robby,

Do they clear the front of the rads by approx 25mm? The pictures of the Force GG guards looked like the inner half was very close. I know the Force Husky guards are not like this and provide adequate space. This is important for cooling and to allow room for the guard to flex/bend in a hit to the front grill.

Glenn,
There was plenty of clearance. My bike is slightly different as far as the hardware that came with the bike when I bought it so I had to cut out a spot on the front of the guards in order to put the nut on the bolt and for my wrench to fit so I could tighten the shrouds to the guards.

I will try to put the pictures up tonight so you can see. I would say that these guards are by far the best I have seen.

Default Force rad guards

were do you get these things?? I had to cut and re weld my flatland rad guards for my 07's The 250 and 300 are the same but the 200's are different, I should of checked since I templeted from the 07 250. Did Flatland make the change for the 08 bikes? Do the force need to be customized to fit the 08 gasgas's. Please let me know were I can purchase the Force Guards if they don't have to be re cut and welded. I would need for all 3 bikes Thanks Tom

I have revently fitted the Force guards to my 07 EC300. They are a serious piece of kit. Well made and super strong. Had a few drops in the rocks yeasterday and they are doing their job.

Default Force rad guards

I got mine yesterday put them on my 08. I only had to drill out the threaded hole were they attach to the frame, took 1 minute with 1/4'' drill bit and they fit awesome. It is nice to see someone takes pride in there work like The force company!! The top bolt I used the stock gasgas but the bottom bolt needs a hex head, they even have a place to put your wrench in. A+ Thanks Tom Zelko

I've tried emailing them twice about being a dealer for them here and they haven't replied. I wonder why?
