Safe to ride with no grille

In the process of painting my grille, got the primer on and sanded perfectly. My paint is taking longer than expected. Is it safe to ride without a grille or just put it on and re-sand again?

 

I see no reason why not, just don't hit any oversize bugs that will put dents in your radiator... that's all I'd be worried about.

 

That's what I thought....it was kinda a pain in the ass to get it sanded just right. I'd hate to do it all over again...thanks

 

It will obviously make your engine more accessible, so don't park anywhere shady. You're fine other than that.

 

I drove without it for a couple hundred miles. You should be alright.

 

Great, thanks fellas

 

just watch out because it exposes what i believe are the airbag sensors on either side of the grill.

 

I've had to drive with the grill off also for a couple of days. I didn't have any problems. With Urd intake exposed people were switching lanes like no other.
