Radiator and Oil Cooler Protection for Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100 – Installation Experience and Fitment Notes

The next protection I wanted to install on my Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100 was a guard for the coolant and oil radiators. It often happens that small stones appear on the road and get thrown by the front wheel toward one of the radiators, potentially causing damage. In most cases, the radiator remains intact, perhaps losing a fraction of its cooling efficiency due to bent fins, but occasionally, a stone can pierce the radiator and end a trip abruptly. I wanted this protection to be made of aluminum, and after some research, I found a wide selection on the market including inexpensive options on AliExpress and well known brands like Evotech Performance . However, I discovered that the German company 2Wheels-Company offers a very similar product at a competitive price, with the added advantage of a free return option in case it didn’t fit or meet expectations.

From Triumph Rocket 3 to Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory: Choosing the Right Bike and Installing Top Block Racing Frame Sliders

After a little more than a year, I began seriously considering selling my Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R. Many will wonder why, since it’s a true motorcycle icon, but the simple answer is, it just wasn’t the right bike for me.

I rode it in a rather sporty way, and while it can handle that despite being a cruiser at heart, it’s ultimately too heavy and its geometry isn’t made for aggressive cornering or fast transitions.
