The plastic radiator cover is a guard for the radiator. It was designed to absorb a blow in the event the bike ends up on its side. If you take everything apart you will notice leaf springs.

Thats the oil cooler. I am not aware of any protection options, but then again I have never heard of any issues with them getting damaged.

There is a company called Cox Racing that makes radiator grilles for all kinds of bikes but they don't have anything listed for any Buells. I have one of their grilles for my R6 and I love the peace of mind of just having it there.

If you find some mesh material it shouldn't be too hard to cut it and zip tie it to the cooler. I may end up doing that as a little DIY mod once it warms up.
