Holy Radiator batman she has sprung a leak!!
Went for a blat Sunday just gone, copped a few stones and chips on the fairing, little did i know the radiator copped a wammy too.
Damn the Kwak radiator is not cheap, i'm not too crash hot on getting a repair done so i've ordered a new one along with a rad-guard.
If you own a recent sports bike and don't have a radiator guard, go and bloody well get one or have it made up.

repair the old one, keep it as a spare in case you re-enact the experience.

Don't be shy about repairing them. They do a pretty smick job these days. I had my 426 done and you pretty well couldn't tell. At $100 v $450 for a new one as well. I'd hate to think what a rdiator for a 10 is.

I kind of forgot i was part of this community when i was at the bike shop debating my options.
I've ordered a new rad. and guard, to be fitted at the same time and paid a deposit on the day.
Pontikat thanks for the offer, i may still take it up, to keep me going i have just bought an epoxy putty to plug the hole so i'll see if that works for now.
