What are these and what do these do. Do they make the for all models?

they are aluminum or zinc sheets of metal that are bent and placed in a way to flow more air over the topend or radiator they are made for most models (Idont think they make them for the 300 or 250ex) and cost about $50-$75 but you can make your own for like $10-$15

So alls they do is help the air flow to cool the engine. I might possibly make some.

They are suppose to cause better airflow to cool the motor. However, IMO they are overrated because most are not properly made and do not improve air flow enough to be effective. RTC makes a good louver that will help with cooling.

i just used a vice to bend it but if you dont have that you can even bend it on a corner of a work bench
