Radiators do a very important job in keeping your bike cool and are also one of the most susceptible components to getting bent during a crash or tip over. Having radiator guards or braces on your bike is a great accessory that will give you extra piece of mind, and possibly save you time and money down the road. But, if it's too late and your radiators are already bent out of shape, this video will walk you through the process of straightening them out to get you back out riding in no time!

I work in a radiator shop and we put boards under the core and step on it then for side channels use vise grip to grab then hit vise grip with hammer to pull it straight then pressure test and alum braze any damage. If diamond shaped use bar clamp to pull it square. Aluminum does not like being hammered on even with mallet.

Good ideal.

never thought you could actually straighten a radiator. Will save buying a new one for my MX-5, I know it's a car but all radiators are the same, right?

Bummed I still tweaked my radiator a tad even with braces😕I could only imagine what it would’ve looked like without them so that’s a plus.

You guys have any tip on how to fix a smashed radiator inlet tube? I smashed mine in a crash. Thanks.

So my new tusk rad got bent when my 2 dollar tiedown let go. I was pretty ticked. Looks like crappy weather coming up thanks to a hurricane, so I may fix it this coming weekend. I was watching this video and had an idea. I may try using a Black and Decker Workmate to get it square. That would address the uneven tanks and the bulge on the frame side. Then the pushed in part could be straightened out with the wood and mallet. The Workmate may be a bit more gentle way to square it . . . .

Took my plastics ls off to begin the work and noticed a big dent on my tank too, can it be pdr'd?

Never knew you could straighten one that much, good job. If it does have a slight leak do you carry any sealant additive such as one would put in their auto radiator?
