That seems to be a favoured route at the moment. Cheers. As I say, It has been repaired, but it remains to be seen if it's been done well enough to last. I'm gonna take it out for a couple of hours in the morning and see what develops. Fingers crossed.

Ally radiators can be repaired too. Try:-

I've no idea if it'll work out cheaper, but at least you'll know you're not buying another poorly constructed rad from a breakers

Wow, you've really depressed me with that one, guess where I live ? Yes that's right about five minutes from where that was sold, I could have even saved the postage costs!
Any way I took it out for about 40 miles yesterday and the repair has held fine so far

to late now but a bit of advice if any one has a radiator with a hole in it.
I had some special liquid metal but if you check the the packs are labelled to what temperature they'll take, my one was 300c which is more than enough, I have repaired many a radiator, but the alloy ones are not supposed to be repaired but I have done this many times and never had one come back,
but do make the repair goes right round the core,

I think that's whats been done to mine. Fingers crossed and it's okay so far. At my lowest point I went to look at a Suzuki and Ducati dealer the other day to see if I could afford to change to a gixer for reliability etc, trouble is, all I could do is look at the Ducatis! So I might try to carry on with the love/hate relationship I have with what I've got. It's a bit like being married!!!
