Anyone in the states have any experience ordering radiators from GMX in the UK for their Husky? Any info would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Husky Dude hooked me up with sfsperformance look them up talk to Marko and tell him you heard it here. I have not received the hoses yet but their customer service was excellent. They are shipping direct from UK. Check out the other thread for more detail. I will post pics as soon as I get them.

I'am looking to replace the radiators on my 07 TE 510. I have had both repaired once for inner vane splitting at Mylers. Do not want to chance a failure that puts the bike down. What other options are there?

Green Mtn Rider,
I'm in need of radiators too for my 450 and I thought of Mylers but mine are sqashed some, ( the fins are sqashed so the vertical tubes are almost touching each other), as well as twisted.
Think Mylers can do anything and how much...in your view?
Can you LMK what you decide on your bike...Maybe I'll join in on your purchase. ( A four for... x$ deal)

I ordered hoses but call SFS Performance to see if they can get radiators.

I sent mine to mylers. They were tweaked and squashed and had some liquid steel on the fins. I got them back and they were straight and non squashed. I think it is about 40 a radiator. I had to pay a little more since I did a trail side repair to one.

How in the crap do they spread the vertical cores apart to their proper spacing !?
And then correct the fins in that void too??
I wonder if they remove all the mashed fins.... actually it's not hard...I've done it scraping with a razor knife..... and then fit new sections of fin material into the empty space and rebond them to the vertical tubes with a alum. powder/ high temp oven process?
I watched that show, "How Do They Make It", one time. An episode on making radiators, they assemble them with that alum base powder applied and a hot-hot oven. Interesting.
