    My radiators leaking.

    Posted another post looking for one.

    However wondered if this is a oem radiator or chinese equivalent already on the bike as I can't see any numbers.

    On the right hand side the bottom corner of radiator rests against the fairing heat protection " fluffy stuff "

    Brackets seem to be correct but I guess I've no comparison it was when looking for second hand units I'm mostly seeing silver sides.

    Thanks.

    I got a Chinese one for about £90 delivered. Other than having to bend one of the couplings a bit and having to mock up something for the bottom bracket as didn't line up, all is good so far few years in. Bike runs nice and cool, no leaks or corrosion. Was much cheaper than buying original. If I need to do another would upgrade to the aluminium version - look nice!

    I bought one for my 2011 Blade, used it for a season in the No Limits Endurance series, no issues :)

    Managed to get one from m&p direct.

    Most likely a Chinese equivalent but at least if it is all over the place it's a little easier to send back to Swansea than Hong Kong lol

    Time will tell.
    Thanks folks.
