It costs me $20 to make an indestructable rad.....Just have the top mounts TIG welded to the top of the rad. And buy some 3/4" wide 1/8" thing aluminum flat stock from Home Depot, and weld that to the top of the rad on the back....Ive been on the same rad for 2 years with this setup...
Also if you can run side fairings, the rad bolts to them at the bottom and adds double the support.

Yeah I hear ya... I've gone through two radiators already.
Im putting a new one on with air conditioning straps. Basically heavy duty large zip ties. Secure the radiator to the frame. I'll take pics when Im done.

I already tried that. still ripped apart. You gotta secure the radiator tightly against the frame so there's no movement. Running the lowers helps but also can hide damage. I was running my lowers and had the top radiator tabs welded and it still ripped them out.

I was going through a bag of ac zip ties every month. I just now got my **** working pretty good, I'm not burning or breaking zip ties as much now.
