I have given mine a thourogh thrashing and think they are good for the money. However I have had to repair mine twice at the welder. The weak point is the where the mounting bracket welds to the actual radiator.

The welds have broke twice on me there, once on each side, like I said I was hard on em and laid the bike over a few times while they were mounted. However IMO the stockers are tougher and more leak resistant.

So I went to the shop and ordered new OEM rads for an 04 450, 345$ with my discount. ouch!

Radiator guards = have em, run em, like em.

These would never would have lasted so long without them I have about 1 yr riding on them. I never squashed em, but broke the mounting plate from the radiator, Twice. Just keep an eye on em and you will be fine.
