HEP PRODUCTS is a ATV Accessories company that a few of us on the board have purchased product from. I had the privaledge of speaking with Drew the owner last week and liked what he had to say so I bought the Water Jet Radiator Grill and Coolant Guard! He is committed to providing a quality product at a better price. All parts are hand made and I really love the finish. He would like to build a relationship with the ATV community and the Raptorforum contingent. If you are interested in his product just give him a call, mention That you are from Raptorforum and recieve a 10% discount on your parts order. Pics to come!

Sweet....I would really like to see the yellow. I was hung up on that for a while.
With my coolant guard....I am guessing I got the textured one??

Okay okay, drumroll please!!! After long last, I'm posting pix of my HEP mods. Overall, very xlnt quality and craftsmanship...with one exception...the hole that secures the grill guard is a touch too small and needs to be o/s'd with a 13/32" drill bit. Other than that, no complaints, in fact many praises. The grill guard is powder coated aluminum and feels very sturdy after mounting...I'm not worried about the odd rock that comes flying my way towards the grill. Being anal, I applied LocTite to the one and only mounting screw. Up top, it has a thick foam piece that allows it to stand off from the radiator and fits snugly between the instrument cluster shroud. As can be seen, Drew has applied a nice finishing touch to all of the holes to help set it off a bit more...nice attention to detail. As you can also see, HEP has nicely packaged both items and also included instructions with the grill guard. As far as the coolant guard goes, it too is quality construction. Also attending to detail is the inclusion of longer screws to secure it to the bike. Again, I applied Loctite to the 2 mounting screws. This is a nice compliment to the other item, and also affords some added protection from the stray branch that may find it's way up into harm's way. Beyond the products, I've spoken to Drew and am pleased with him and how they do business, so I can heartily recommend HEP for some good quality aftermarket products.

...and a few more to finish it off.

Honest, I don't normally keep my rig so filthy, but after last ride I washed it in near dark, so I didn't get it as good as I thought!

Looks great guys!! Def has me sold on his products when I do those mods. My list is going to include the bottle and rad gaurds and the diamond plate labels all in black. Glad to hear the reviews!

Hey Roc64,
I'd like to order a grill like yours. I can tell that your coolant guard is the textured black, but is the radiator grill also the textured black? It's kind of hard to tell from the picture. I have the same color raptor as yours, and I think the black would look sweet. Please let me know. Thanks!
