radiator question

[Once a Warrior]

my radiator looks old and corroded, although you really can't see it all because of the fairings and it's doing its job cooling wise with no leaks or overheating problems.
A new OEM radiator is something like $700, but there are aftermarket ones available for around $160. Has anyone used the aftermarket radiator? Any problems with it?
The oil cooler is another expensive part if you are going OEM. It's something like $500.

I bought a aftermarket one had it for 2 years so far no problems no leaks the only thing was it didn't match up perfect with the holes only a hair off though just bent the brackets a hair and it fit fine

To the OP,, what looks corroded on your radiator? Since the fairings are still on your bike maybe it's just a buildup of bug splatter on the front of it that you are seeing?

Post a pic of the corrosion, that will help.

it's a 2000 and it came from the beach so there was a lot of salt air corrosion on the bike when i bought it. i think it must be from the salty air.
