Ebay Radiators

[racingfortheson]

So as most know I snapped my collar bone last Sunday, but G-d is awesome and has made us to heal on our own. But, are bikes are not so luck. I smashed my left radiator almost flat. I was thinking about buying the radiators you see on ebay for like $100 a set. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried them. Its only $100 so if they suck its not a huge loss. If not Ill do a write up, no wait how about a video, of how they go on. So if someone know which ebay saler to get them from or not get them from let me know thanx.

There good, I've gone through 2 sets from crashes and I like them. I put them on a Honda so I don't know about ailment of other bikes

my buddy put them on a Yamaha last year and still no problems.

I bought a set last year for my suzuki 450. I too was a little skeptical, but when they arrived I was really impressed.

Im going to order a set on Friday so that I have time to get them in and on the bike before Im healed. So the bike is ready when I am. In a way it may be better if it took a while for them to show up so I dont geg on the bike go early.

Racingfortheson, Hey, this is just little off topic but I was just curious. When you write the word "God" you put a dash where the vowel is. Why is that? I've seen others do it and was just wondering if I was missing something.

Thanks,

Pat

Pat,
I think the dash just served its purpose....You asked about it !

Huffster, Thanks, man! I get it- good idea.

I just recieved a set for my 07 crf 450 and they look very well built for the price, plus they are just a little larger than stock so they should cool better. I havent put them on yet but the mounting tabs are a perfect match to my old ones. I ordered the radiator set with colored hoses for 130 shipped from GPI racing, the radiators came from in the states and was here in like three days. Had i wanted blue hoses they would have shipped from US also. Fast friendly service from them and complete honesty when i asked for green hoses. They have yet to get to my house but my international tracking they gave me shows them released from customs on the fourth so just any day now I expect! Good luck in your searching!

I do it to show my reverance for the name of the Lord. It's a personal thing. When the writers of the word of Bible would write G-d they would not ever write with that quill again. It's just my way to respecting Him.

I wish, but that is A LOT OF MONEY.

I bought a set of the "ebay" radiators for my son's 07' CR250.
Some of things I found: I had to bend, push, and pull them to get the bolt holes to line up. The roost deflectors had to be cut and tie-wrapped to fit and stay in place. And most importantly, because they are slightly larger, they rubbed in 3 places eventually rubbing a hole in one.
Back to Honda radiators for us.

I hate ill fitting parts like that, so I always pop for OEM when I wreck a radiator. You can find OEM Honda for as low as $113ea if you shop around. No China parts for my bikes.

Yeah I got the Honda radiators from Motosport. If you can wait for one of their OEM sales, you can get 20-25% off OEM stuff. They never happen when I actually need OEM parts though.
