Rock hit Radiator

[King E]

$900??
I just bought an oem radiator for an '18 gsxr1000R for $605.
No way the Busa is that much more.
Especially since they only made them for over a decade.
The price sucks regardless, but I Iike knowing that there are no repairs to leak.

Where do you get your placement parts from? The price I quoted was from partzilla.

ebay probably has a few from people parting out their bikes....

Thanks. I looked on partzilla. I got my radiator in a local shop. Hopefully they can repair it.

Normally Partzilla, Revzilla, or Motosport.
The gen2 radiator is $700 at Motosport.

Never thought much of them till one of our guys on a tour punctured a radiator from a rock on my Death Valley Tour a couple of months ago. We were at Badwater and fluid was dripping out the radiator, middle of the desert. He repaired it with Chewing Gum and made it another 200 miles down the road for repairs.

And yes, all you need are some zip ties (included in kit). Non stressed item. Simple installation.

Got my radiator back today. Local shop repaired it for $75. They repaired it with a Boeing aircraft seal rated to over 400 psi. Looks great!

Radiator guards are a most! Especially if you are riding with other guys. Tires kick rocks back. I learned my lesson the Hard way.
