Hmm....I don't recall any printed instructions either. I remember that it was a no brainer. My old grill is sittin in my basement. I'll take a closer look at Msfit when I get home and repost.

Hey Msfitoy,

What kind of rally lights are your sporting? They look pretty cool. Do they turn the night time into day?

They're PIAA motobike lamps...Great for DLR but not much more than fogs at night. I don't run at night much anyway.

Lower Grille - RaceMesh Mini "S"

No dis on the M7, but the RaceMesh unit will not disappoint!:smile: I've seen it in person. RaceMesh has an awesome texture (weave - like Jaguar XKR) to it that no other can match.

RaceMesh - MCS

RaceMesh

The RaceMesh looks great, but their website says "Installation is simple, with no modification to the OEM grille, and installs in less than 10 minutes." Does this mean that its really a cover and not a replacement grille? The idea of a cover over the OEM grille doesn't appeal to me because of the cooling issue. (I live in Texas.)

300+ units sold, no cooling issues.

Great, but it is a cover or a complete replacement grille?

RaceMesh Precision Grilles are designed as a cover so you can go back to OEM spec easily, with no cost.

Hi Guys.....

We do not currently have a lower front grille for the MC.....and before you guys
yell at me for being a MCS snob We honestly get very few calls for the MC
version, which tells me we would not sell to many...but I could be wrong.

As for the rear units, we have been selling them for almost a year now
and they come in either black or silver powdercoat.

If you don't have a lower grille, what about the upper and middle?

I have been thinking about replacing that lower grill (keeps coming un-clipped) and it is a bit of a pain to dry all of the water off of after washing. This is accomplished with a sponge……..but my point is that if you just place a grill over the original, it would seem that the trapped water would be even worse.

I heard back from Peter and the upper and middle grilles on their website will fit both the MC and MCS. Sounds good to me!
