Damaged the radiator when dropped :( How to protect?

[ElectroDan]

Took my DCT in yesterday for a service and for the leaky rad to be inspected. Seems some of the fins are damaged, no doubt from one of the 2 times I recently dropped it from stationary. 

I have a radiator guard plus the Highlander engine bars, but they aren't enough to protect the rad it seems. Seeing as a new rad is £750 (!!!) does anyone know of any add-ons which protect the rad should I drop it again!

Any idea how or what part of the bike damaged the radiator when dropped ?

Radiators can be recored, find your local guy.
Their painted black when finished just like new.
Good Luck.

I went with the Givi bars they are a little over kill but work.  I had a driveway tip over (doh) and I ended up with a scuffed engine cover.  We're talking downhill sitting neatly on the bars.  It would have trashed the entire side otherwise.

As for the scuffs R&G and a couple others make case protectors.  But at a certain point chicks dig scars.
