Don’t Let Your Radiator Get Twisted in a Crash: Works Connection’s Got Your Back!
Don’t Let Your Radiator Get Twisted in a Crash: Works Connection’s Got Your Back!
What’s up, Moto Riders! You know that feeling — you’re railing a rut, feeling like a factory pro, when the back end suddenly decides it wants to pass you. The bike swaps, you’re airborne, and before you can mutter, “save it!”, you’re face-down in the dirt. You jump up, adrenaline pumping, grab your bike, and… ouch. Your radiator looks like it went three rounds with Mike Tyson.
That, my friends, is the heartbreak of every dirt rider. Radiators are the unsung heroes of your machine — working overtime to keep that Two-Stroke or Four-Stroke cool and happy. But they’re also about as tough as wet spaghetti in a crash. That’s why the crew over at Works Connection came up with their bulletproof Radiator Braces — a slick, lightweight solution to keep your cooling system intact, no matter how gnarly the get-off.
Right out of the box, these things scream quality. The craftsmanship is top-shelf, exactly what you’d expect from a brand trusted by top race teams.
- 5052 Aluminum Construction: CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 5052 aluminum — light, corrosion-resistant, and tough enough to handle impacts that would turn your stock radiator into origami.
- Cage-Style Design: The real genius is in the engineering. These braces form a rigid “cage” around your radiator, providing multi-plane support that prevents it from twisting, bending, or collapsing inward when you hit the deck.
- Factory Fitment: Custom-formed for each specific bike model, they slide neatly behind your plastic shrouds — no bulky look, no interference with your bodywork.
- Airflow Friendly: Works Connection made sure the design doesn’t block airflow. Your bike runs cool even when you’re pushing the limits in a 100-degree moto.
In short: they’re strong, stealthy, and designed to take punishment — just like your riding boots.
🔧 Installation So Easy, You’ll Feel Like a Pro
Let’s be honest — no one likes mods that require a welding degree and a six-pack of patience. Thankfully, these braces are about as simple as it gets.
- Bolt-On Simplicity: Everything you need comes in the box — mounting hardware, instructions, and a straightforward fit.
- Direct-to-Frame Mounting: This is the secret sauce. By bolting directly to the bike’s frame, the radiator and brace become one solid unit. That connection absorbs impacts before your radiator ever feels the hit.
- Fast Turnaround: Most riders report install times under an hour. Pop off the shrouds, swap a few bolts, maybe reroute a hose or two, and you’re back to roosting.
Less garage time, more track time — that’s a win.
💸 Save Your Wallet, Save Your Ride
OEM radiators aren’t cheap. A single replacement can run you $250–$400, and that’s before the coolant and labor. A hard crash can easily snowball into a four-figure repair bill.
With Works Connection Radiator Braces, you’re making a small investment in insurance that pays off every time you tip over.
- Prevents costly damage and leaks
- Protects mounting points from tearing
- Keeps your cooling system efficient and reliable
- Adds resale value — because your bike stays clean and straight
Think of them as a support for your radiator. You hope you never need them, but when you do — they save the day.
⚡ Bottom Line
If you ride hard, race every weekend, or just enjoy sending it without sweating every crash, Works Connection Radiator Braces are a no-brainer. They’re tough, light, and built to look factory while taking a beating.
Stop crossing your fingers every time you lay it down. Protect your ride, your wallet, and your peace of mind with a set of Works Connection Radiator Braces — because bent radiators belong in the scrap pile, not on your bike.
