Current Radiator Replacment?

#1

Post by Siphor »

Is there a radiator that is currently produced that will fit and work as a replacement to the old GL1000 ones?

Yep and yep.

When you take one into a shop for a 'going over' have them pay particular attention to the point where the hose attachment tubes meet the tank. These tend to get tweaked a bit from PO's changing hoses. The metal is very thin and that soldered joint can separate easily. Have them re-solder those as a precaution.
