    I have a 06 fireblade and the radiator is coroding badly. Any advice on getting a replacement? I called a Honda dealer and a new one from them was £730 ish seen a few online from 90 to 300 then the original one at 700.

    Cheers!

    Not sure it applies here, but it may be cheaper/easier to speak to a radiator specialist and get yours refurbished....new core fitted, new solder "welds" etc.

    My Dad is restoring an old car and had the rad done and the old boy said he does rads from everything and anything.

    Might be worth a try?
