I've crashed mine quite a lot. My 'wimpy plastic doodads' on each side still only have minor scratches.

Not saying it's impossible to conceive a crash which would break the rad, but you'd have to be extremely unlucky. Not worth adding more weight to the bike IMO.

Don't forget the tank is (considerably) wider than the rad.
