Outerwears Radiator Bag

Anyone out there in DS land have one of these installed, other than Bithell and McGill. Seems to be the hot setup for keeping the mud out of the radiator. On Outerwears site it says the Warnert Grille is required? But is it really?

RADIATOR SHROUD FOR WARNERT RACING CUSTOM GRILL 20-2611 - Outerwears, Inc. - Original manufacturer of Pre-Filters & Shockwears

It would be impossible to fit onto the stock louver. A custom one has to be fab'd along with some mounting brackets for the louver.

FYI.. you can buy the outerwears material in X" x Y" sheets and make something on your own if you want. The one shown above ends up being like 45$ shipped. I've ridden twice now with it and the plastic has started to rub a hole thru it
