Using these AS3 radiator braces on your 2009 - 2012 Honda CRF 450 R is easy. Just follow the included fitting instructions and use the bolts provided. When installing, make sure the braces are properly aligned with the radiator. As you ride, these braces will protect your radiator from damage. After each ride, it's a good idea to check the braces for any signs of loose bolts or damage. If you spot any issues, tighten the bolts or contact the UK company for assistance under the 12 - month warranty. Keep the braces clean by using a mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they could scratch the matt black finish.
