00:00Alright, let's talk about the one thing most riders don't think about until it's way too
00:04late, protecting your radiator and your engine. One rock kicked up on the highway, one gravel road,
00:10one bad drop in a parking lot, and suddenly you're looking at a repair bill that costs
00:14more than the bike's worth. So I went digging and pulled together the top 5 radiator and
00:19engine frame guards people are actually buying right now, and honestly, some of these prices
00:23genuinely surprised me. Let's get into it. Kicking things off at number 5, we've got this
00:302025 skid plate and bash frame guard built for the Honda X80 V750 and NC750X, covering 2017 all the way
00:38through 2024. What I like about this one is that it's not just a flimsy piece of trim it wraps
00:43under
00:44the engine and actually takes the hit for you when you're bouncing over rough stuff. Nearly 5,000 of
00:49these have sold, with a 4.8 star rating, which tells you people aren't just buying it, they're
00:54happy with it afterward. At $25.87, you're basically paying pocket change to protect an engine case that
01:02costs hundreds to replace. Easy win. At number 4, if you're on a Yamaha MT-07, this radiator grill guard
01:10is worth a look. It covers the radiator in the fuel tank area, and the mesh design is tight enough
01:16to
01:16stop stones and road debris without choking your airflow, which matters, because a blocked radiator
01:21is its own kind of problem. It's listed for the 2025 through 2027 MT-07 models, so if you've got
01:28a
01:28newer bike, this is your fit. $21.39, over 4,500 sold, and a solid 4.5 star rating. For
01:38an MT-07 owner,
01:39that's a no-brainer piece of insurance. Number 3 is where things get really interesting on price.
01:46This is another skid plate bash guard for the Honda XADV 750 and NC-750X, but this one covers
01:52all the way from 2017 to 2025, and it's sitting at just $15. 15. And it's rocking a 4.9
02:01star rating
02:01with over 4,000 sold, so this isn't some cheap knockoff people are complaining about, the reviews
02:06back it up. If you ride an XADV or an NC-750X and you've been putting off buying a bashplate
02:12because you didn't want to spend $100, this is your excuse gone. Genuinely one of the best value
02:18buys on this whole list. Coming in at number 2, this one's for the CRF300L crowd. It's an under-engine
02:26protection cover and bashplate that fits the Honda CRF300L from 2021 right through 2024. Now this is
02:34the priciest one here at $47.48, but there's a reason, the CRF300L is a bike people actually
02:41take off-road, and a proper thick skid plate is not optional out there. It's got a 4.9 rating
02:47with
02:47over 4,000 sold, and if you've ever heard that sickening clunk of a rock hitting your engine case,
02:52you know exactly why this is worth every penny. Buy once, ride confident.
02:57And taking the top spot at number 1, we've got this radiator guard and engine protector for the
03:02Komodo 450 metric tons. This thing has a perfect 5-star rating, not 4.9, a straight 5, across 4
03:10,000
03:10plus sales, and that almost never happens. It fits the 2024 through 2026 models, protects the radiator
03:17and the engine area, and given that the 450 metric tons is being marketed as a proper adventure bike,
03:23you're absolutely going to need this. $22.99 for perfect reviews and reel protection?
03:30That's why it's number 1. All the links for every one of these are down in the description,
03:35so go grab whichever one fits your bike before the prices jump.
