    mine have never had that stuff but I run a bead of silicon around the deflectors edge to stop them rubbing thru the rad tubes which they will do

    Not currently present. Seems like a good idea to have these in front of my new radiators.

    Surprisingly not as bad looking as I thought they would be, though. Especially when you consider it's aluminum welding.

    A lot better than I can do! :excuseme: (that's my welding table they're laying on)

    Thanks for solving THAT mystery! I was wondering why there was blue silicon at the top/bottom of the original radiator units. I'll do that. :thumbsup:

    No worries... the left one had the top front mounting point torn off and the right one had a break in the outer frame at the bottom (see below). One more hit on that one and it would have failed. I've kept them in case I ever get any good at welding Aluminium. :thumbsup:

    every liquid cooled Husky I own had at least one radiator looked like that. I just weld em up til they break again.

    I wound up buying a good used set on ebay. The mounting brackets looked pretty light on the aluminum ones.

    Well those hoses definitely don't fit the 06 610, but the radiators might. I'm skeptical though b/c most other adds don't list the 06 610 as a proper fit. Thanks for the links though.

    I got the Winner Racing ones for my 87 430. On the right side one, the top mounting tab came loose after about 150 miles, no crashes just riding. So now I need to get that fixed. :(
