First off we all have a story about smashing our radiators like tin cans from wadding our brains out! So with that said, we all can agree we should use some radiator guards, right?
I have had radiator guards before but none of them have looked like these. When I first laid eyes on them, I have to admin to was a bit confused. There are a lot more parts then the last ones I installed.
These are not your regular ol’ flat metal that sites on the side of your tank and support your radiator. These are tubes and thick aluminum plates that make a “CAGE” all the way around your radiator. After I opened the package and read the instructions, I realized this was going to be simple and it was.
I’m not going to tell you step by step instructions on how to install them because it comes with instructions and photos, but I will tell you it took me about an hour to install these babies.
TOOLS REQUIRED: 8MM&10MM Socket, Screwdrivers, 4MM Allen Wrench, and a Razor Knife or cutters.
WHATS HOT: They are way more supportive then the past years, they look bomb proof. You will really have to wad up to smash these cages!
WHATS NOT: There are only two things and they are
super minor. You have to trim the plastic louvers, and you have to drain your radiator fluid.
I would highly recommend these to every body who is going to ride track or trail. You will save a lot of money in the long run, when you don’t have to replace your radiators every time you wad your brains out!
