I couldn't work out from the pics what's going on with the rad. Are those fins funneling the air and/or protecting the rad matrix?

Guess the exhaust is for the look only. Seems like a lot of work for a cosmetic thing.

Still, looks OK.

The rad guards are standard mx guards, there to protect them from flying stones.

I like it, similar stylee to the recent CCMs.

I think it's the colour that made me :hmmm: at first glance I thought they were leg guards!

Not keen. Looks like a bit of an identity crisis?

I hate XR650S. My pal brings his round here every couple of months to do the valves :D

We do it blindfold now ;)
