so it happened last night... i went to the spot, my bike was finnaly runnin good and about an hour in i set down a wheelie and noticed my ****** radiator was bouncing off the front fender bolt had backed out of one and the other broke....

sooooo what are yall doing to reinforce em?

 

Mine were broke when I bought the bike. I just used large zip ties around the frame and radiator.
I rigged my buddies with the zip ties around the cage and radiator and it worked pretty good, plus it was easier than goin around the frame.
I know this won't help with your reinforcement question but its somthing you can do in the mean time.

 

werd... i do hvac for a living so i get the big white zip ties in bags of 100 for free

 

Send me some free zip ties. Thank you.

 

Bump for free zip ties Oh and for fiddy's question too I suppose.

 

answer---- buy an F4I, hahahahhaa.. no really though, get some aluminum run from the side of the radiator to a mount point... ur gonna need it welded though... do a search i know there is a thread on here for it...

 

i know how to braze all i need is the aluminum rods...

and one wheel neal, ill send you some free zip ties as soon as you stop playing trukz

 

All my tabs were broken off my 636 radiator when I bought it and I took some 1" alum. stock and made new tabs and then ran a piece of the strap over the new tabs and down to the bottom of the radiator, then had everything welded. Kind of like Tony D's setups. It's been like that for a year in a half now and still rock solid.

 

I just upgraded to an 06 radiator and didnt have problems again. But I sold my 04 636
