Abstract
A radiator guard may include a front plate, a top plate, spaced side plates, gussets and yoke assemblies. The front plate may have a varied profile such that a first lateral width proximate a top of the front plate is greater than a second lateral width proximate a bottom of the front plate. The top plate may be angled relative to the front plate and the side plates may be fixed near the lateral sides of the front plate such that portions of the front plate proximate the top of the front plate extend laterally outwardly from the side plates. The gussets may be disposed on the rear surface of the face plate at these laterally extending portions and the yoke assemblies may be disposed on the front surface of these portions.
