    Hi guys, having some overheating issues when in traffic, climbing upwards for 105-110 Celsius.
    Quick stop with the mechanic tonight and have been informed to get a radiator. Any suggestions for the best alternative to the genuine Honda part as spending nearly £1000 for a radiator just isn’t appealing at all!
    Have had a nosey about online but there’s that much tat or ones that aren’t straight fitting in at a loss!
    cheers!

    Had one off eBay on bike for last 5 years with no issues (touch wood!) Was a Chinese version, paid £100 new and was delivered really quickly. Would go for one of the nicer aluminium ones if I did it again though :)

    Hi @kaney, welcome to the forum. IMHO - First thing would be to remove your current rad and give it a good flushing out.

    Morning mate thanks for the reply! Any chance you could link it? Just the ones I’ve looked at, I’ve been told they won’t be a direct fit so I’m at a loss searching

    morning mate thanks for the reply, I had originally thought the same thing but anyone I’ve spoken to has said the same thing that the current one is knackered even to the eye which is never a good sign lol
