Aftermarket radiator

Cheers for that. That's double the price though. Haven't got that much cash floating about so tryna squeeze a few shillings here and there. Really? I haven't come across any that are in decent condition. Any links? Hadn't even come across the one you posted oddly enough

loads on there,some good,some not so.

 

cheers for that ........

 

I've seen loads on EBay but they are all in USA but there is a new one but after the shipping and taxes it's gonna be really expensive.

 

Ended up going with an aftermarket one. Does the job!

 

The ebay shop where I bought my radiator for my RR7 seems to be still going, ask them if they have what you want.

Can't recall what I paid, think it was around £120, it was good quality and fitted without any hassle.

How good are the aftermarket ones and does anything need to be cut or changed to fit one

 

Like it says in the second line of my post.

 

As Mikegml says fits perfect and at around £120.00 bargain, bear in mind that most of these Chinese sellers are open to offers i have never paid the advertised price.

 

I'm not sure where my rad' was made but it came from the as3performance guys on ebay which I link to above (I've no connection to as3).

I obviously compared it to the original when got if off and it seemed pretty much identical with no obvious differences, and it fitted fine, went straight on with no real bother.

I think the actual honda rad' was several hundred £££ !!! F*** that.

 

I did look on AS3Performance website but couldn't find anything for my 06 Blade.
There is also a company called ASI on EBay though

 

If I remember correct I couldn't find my rad' on their site either but it was for sale from them on ebay?

Maybe they order them direct from elsewhere? Maybe give them a call or email them to find out if they can get one.

 

Will do mate. Thanks.
What makes the OEM radiator so bloody expensive.
Even getting a new one from USA is £400

 

£686 !!!

£400 from the USA on eBay mate but I can get discount from a Honda dealer in Croydon. Very good customer service.
Still not sure what the big difference is between OEM and Aftermarket though

 

I've bought several items from the US, mostly not bike related, I've been whacked for VAT and import duties on every one which can add about 30% onto the price of the item. Didn't mind cause I took this into account except on the first item when I didn't know about such things.

Some people have bought items from the US and managed to get the sender to declare the item as such that these charges are avoided but this is tricky, uncertain, and a bit dodgy. Ask any US supplier about this. You would pay VAT and import duty on top of the £400.

Can't believe that an aftermarket rad' is hard to find here in the UK, maybe I was lucky but I just did a search for a rad' and got the link to the as3 people.

The rad' I got looked pretty much as good as the original I took off.
