Fresh on the heels of my embarrassing bike dump Im in the market for a left replacement radiator. Most of the stuff on Ebay looks pretty rough, and then I saw these


R L Aluminum Radiator Honda Super Hawk VTR1000F 1997 2005 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 | eBay


which appear to be coming from China. My question is - Does anyone have any experience with them, or can anyone recommend a place to get a left radiator?

 

Theres a few threads, search chinese racing radiators...

Long story short they are great for the price but are thicker so you need to be handy mounting them up...and something about the temp switch that i dont remember...

 

yea i know people said they were pretty good for what they cost. but like scottie said, there was a couple issues. but IMO things easily taken care of because of the good price. if they were expensive id expect things to be perfect out of the box. but for that price i can deal with a few issues. i beleive they are bigger, more surface area, more cooling.

 

Someone come on & tell me if these cool better. They LOOK like they might but thats meaningless without testing.

 

Probably cool better if you put them in the tail of the bike. Better wheelie weight distribution too.

 

I know these are in nice shape because I bought the fairings off this bike in person-it had a cct let go. Bryan is a really cool guy so maybe he'll split up one side for you-doesn't hurt to ask.
