I use it on my ZX6R EF model.
It is very easy to install, just attach it via the claws and bolt on top of the Radiator.
The fins of the Radiator are often damaged by flying rocks that cannot be suppressed by the Front Fender alone, or by flying rocks from the car in front. Even if the fins are crushed, it will not affect driving, but it will definitely reduce the cooling performance of the coolant, so it is better to install the Radiator core guard from new.
In addition, in rare cases, the Radiator is damaged by stepping stones and leaks coolant. The Radiator core guard is a must, especially when you are out on a tour, because it takes a lot of time and money to move the wrecker, and it can ruin your happy memories.
There is also a merit that if the Radiator core guard is installed, the fins are less likely to be crushed and the resale value will be better.
As a result, we have not been able to confirm any degradation in cooling performance (less airflow) due to the installation of the Radiator core guard.
The Manufacturer also uses a finer mesh for the center section, which is subject to a lot of stepping stones, and a coarser mesh for the others, so I think there is little difference.

The stainless steel honeycomb mesh core guard has been perfected with feedback from years of racing.
The material is SUS304 polished to #400, a high-grade stainless steel with both rust resistance and tenacity.The thickness of the plate (0.8t) has been upgraded from the conventional thickness (0.5t).
In the circuit, the fine mesh in the center of the tire width is sure to guard against pebbles and debris raised by the front tire, insects flying at the light, and tire debris on the road surface and small pieces of rubber spun off from the front tire.
The coarse meshes on both sides are designed to balance the conflicting themes of "cooling efficiency" and "protecting the radiator from heat exchange".
In the case of aluminum or titanium, the mesh line width has to be made thicker by increasing the thickness, but this SUS304 has made it possible to keep the same line width as the conventional one (0.5t) and to improve the strength significantly.
This was done in consideration of long-term durability even in the harshest street use, and was selected from a wide range of materials through a series of driving tests.
The most important thing is to keep the core shape as it was when new.
It is recommended to install it as an item to dress up your vehicle and maintain its performance.
