Chinese Radiator UPGRADE

My Enduro Engineering guards fit no sweat over these radiators. FYI

Some times those trees jump right out and bite ya. The radiator was still leak free, but without the guards that would not have been the case.

(not a husky obviously, but my bike none-the-less)

looks like mylers but the mylers have nicer looking welds.

you made a good purchase!

I just replaced my rads with the "sum yung guy" rads from China as well. My stock left rad started leaking from a seam during a ride last week and it was never even bumped or tweaked. I think I have the unabiker guards, which fit right over my new rads.
It looks like sum yung guy welded them but so far there are no leaks. They are the GPI brand ones. I paid $160 shipped and got them in less than a week. They actually came from California so maybe GPI has a warehouse on that side of the Country. I received an email from someone shortly after ordering and they asked if I would provide some detailed photos of my rads because they wanted to ensure a good fit. Nice.
I am convinced that there are some American brands offering these very same radiators under another name but hey, that's nothing new.
I actually read a horror story about a car guy's experience with "American made" Fluidyne radiators. Sounded like a real sh!t show.

Finally found a set for the TXC449

Yeh i was eyein those up as well

After reading this thread, I got the GPI rads from China. 150 quid and arrived in Cyprus within the week.
The old rads on my bike were hanging on by a thread and were already pretty squished.

China ones fit great and work amazing. Strong too as I proper dumped my bike over the weekend a number of times and held up very well. No dents, nothing.
The main test is to come in the summer when it is 40 degrees C outside.

how do they fit in the RAD motosportz guards?

Are they heavier? I hate to buy a bike because it may be light then load it down with more stuff than a dust bowl refugee heading for california.

It is a problem that we can have stuff shipped from China so much cheaper than it can be manufactured here. I can understand 30%, even 50%, but it seems to be more like 200-300%.
I think china is operating on a un level playing field and we need to get more efficient. I say that, but the problem I keep experiencing is raw material costs are so high doesn't leave much room for profit.

Couple hours on my new rads-no issues

I may be blind, but I can't find any on ebay with the spigots on the insides for less than 160-ish shipped. There are ones with spigots on outside for $85 all day long...

Bad link, we need your username and password to view that... Post it up please.

Later,

That one has the spigots on the outside like the ones I currently have. The only hose I should have to replace is the lower hose right? Already got that on order from Bills.
