    mine is way past the point of straightening the fins, so i'm looking for a good used or new one.
    what do you guys use to protect after install?
    will a piece of screen work?

    This is what I have on mine. Perrone uses small chicken wire mesh on his R1.

    those cox ones are nice, but I can't go the dough.
