    I knew that my bike needed rad braces and I am not willing to spend the money that they cost. So I built some myself.

    Parts used:
    baseplate from an electrical control cabinet that I got from work
    1/4" all thread with nuts
    aluminum tubing
    Total cost: $9

    That saved me bunch of money. They work awesome. :cheers:

    I think I'll try and make a set because I have about one more fall to go on a set of radiators before I have to replace them.

    You need to tie that lower cross support tot he frame or it will transfer the impact to the other side and not really stop it from crushing the rad. Otherwise looks good. :thumbsup:

    There is a support (1/8" thick steel plate) on the down tube that ties to the outer portion. You know, the bolts that hold the radiator to the frame. You may be right but it is very strong. I've seen the same design for these radiators somewhere online and just used it as a template. Anything is better than how it comes stock.
