Any other brands of braces being used?
The fit just ok.........but my rads were already a little bent/repaired so perhaps not a fair review
I put the GYTR radiator braces on my 2023 YZ450 and they fit perfectly! Easy to install too! 😎 👍❗️
If you can’t get hold of the Works Connection braces…these GYTR work really well too!
I’ve put the WC brand and GYTR on my YZ’s and both brands are very good! 😎 👍❗️

I highly doubt it will fit but does anyone know if the works connection radiator braces from the 2018-2022 yz450f will fit and work on the 2023-2025 yz450f?
My 2023 yz450F Works Connection braces came in this week. Reading the instructions you have to use a template to trim a piece of shroud off and also drill a hole in your radiator. I had to open the package to find out the install sucks so I am stuck with them I guess. I wish I had went with GYTR. I will come back and post after I install them today.
The fit is really good on the Works connection brace. Be careful and diligent trimming that plastic on the radiator shroud. I used a grinder and went too far. I don't want to trim or cut or change anything when i put aftermarket stuff on my bike. This was worth it imo
It wasn't too bad, they would actually fit without trimming plastic but it pushes the edge of the shrouds out a little. I didn't trim enough I used a wood saw with a thin blade like a ting hack saw and accident cut into the bolt hole lol. I drilled the top hole all the way through the plastic louvers so that's bolted don't they don't wiggle now. My right radiator was a tad bent, doing the left side next i'll up date after that. Overall they solid I like them. I found them at a place called happy trails for 122.00 shipped. But yes I didn't realize how bad I needed them until I got them mounted. Glad i got black.
Here's a pic of the shroud not trimmed enough poking out, then trimmed to where it's even with the frame. Super happy with the braces, the fit on the left side with a straight radiator was spot on I was impressed. I'm totally digging these things.
I just put these on my 24’. The install was a little more than I expected, but was pretty simple. The trimmed piece of plastic is on the backside and you can’t see it. That was probably the easiest part. Drilling a hole in the radiator is just on the tab at the top. As stated above, it holds the plastic louvers in place and I like it better like that.
